UNSPSC 85673711: Extraction of left wrist bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of left wrist bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0MD64ZZ

UNSPSC 85673711 Extraction of left wrist bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not match the recent opportunities posted under this classification, which span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out programs for government employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. State and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with this surgical-procedure code despite their fundamental divergence from orthopedic or procedural surgery work. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the underlying UNSPSC assignment or a misalignment between the code taxonomy and how some jurisdictions classify health and human services contracts.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies — city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county health benefits consortiums across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida — but none of them actually procure extraction procedures or related surgical services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited specialty surgical carve-out benefits for its employee health plan (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's procedural title and the actual work being bought, this code presents no reliable signal for vendors pursuing state and local contracts in surgical services or orthopedic procedure management.
