UNSPSC 85673530: Extirpation of matter from right elbow 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 elbow 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 0MC33ZZ

UNSPSC 85673530 Extirpation of matter from right elbow bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted against this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, and pre- and post-operative care coordination—none of which involve the described surgical intervention on the elbow. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source materials or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC code's anatomical specificity and how state and local procurement offices are classifying health services solicitations.

The recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), county systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal governments (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach) across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with activity concentrated in large metropolitan and regional health systems. Representative current solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026) for ferries personnel across 14 Washington locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing pool (due October 7, 2026). Given the systematic mismatch between the code definition and actual procurement scope, this code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes and warrants clarification with state and local procurement offices before resource allocation.
