UNSPSC 85673566: Destruction of right hand bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0M573ZZ

UNSPSC 85673566 Destruction of right hand bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal medical procedure scope. The opportunities instead reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, health plan surgical carve-out programs, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which directly involve orthopedic bursa or ligament procedures. State and local governments are using this code to buy medical services infrastructure and staffing rather than discrete surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies span diverse public sectors: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (procurement of disability evaluation services), the City of Long Beach (health plan surgical benefit carve-out), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing pool qualification). Recent activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows active procurement but primarily for administrative medical services and staffing coordination rather than procedural interventions—a signal that the code's taxonomic assignment may not reflect actual buying intent.
