This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right hand 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 0M973ZZ

UNSPSC 85673543 Drainage of right hand bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows limited relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominates; instead, they reflect a broader and fundamentally different scope: independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities align with surgical drainage procedures or related clinical work performed on specific anatomical sites.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county procurement divisions (Collier County), and municipal government (Long Beach), with geographic activity spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual procurement scope suggests either a data entry or taxonomy assignment error in the source system; the code does not appear to describe medical supplies, implants, or surgical services that state and local health systems, retirement boards, or corrections agencies are actively soliciting. No recent opportunities target procurement of bursa or ligament drainage equipment, supplies, or related orthopedic surgical support. Buyers evaluating this code for state and local opportunity targeting should note the disconnect and verify the appropriate UNSPSC classification for their service offering.
