UNSPSC 85673572: Destruction of right shoulder bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right shoulder 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 0M513ZZ

UNSPSC 85673572 (Destruction of right shoulder bursa and ligament, percutaneous approach) is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with orthopedic shoulder procedures. The mismatch suggests a taxonomy classification error rather than a coherent procurement category.

Recent activity shows no opportunities directly soliciting orthopedic shoulder surgery, destruction of bursa, or related surgical procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, due October 9, 2026, requiring a physician board-certified in occupational medicine. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001) for disability benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, at $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach sought proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program (HR26753) covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence, due October 7, 2026. These opportunities are health services administration, benefits management, and occupational health — not the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no pattern suggesting a market for the coded service itself.
