UNSPSC 85673528: Extirpation of matter from right wrist bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right wrist bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0MC53ZZ

UNSPSC 85673528 Extirpation of matter from right wrist bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code name describes a surgical procedure for the right wrist, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with orthopedic wrist surgery or percutaneous procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-quality gap in how opportunities are being tagged to UNSPSC codes in the source system.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 reflect state, county, and local health system purchasing across occupational health (Washington State Department of Transportation), pension administration (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits (City of Long Beach), county insurance pools (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County), and specialized staffing networks, none of which corresponds to surgical or procedural codes. Unless a procurement office systematically uses this code as a fallback categorization for healthcare services broadly, or the opportunities have been misclassified by the data provider, pursuit under this code is not strategically viable. Confirmation with issuing bodies about their intended code classifications and direct relationship to wrist surgery would be necessary before allocating business development resources.
