This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of right shoulder 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 0MD14ZZ

UNSPSC 85673716 Extraction of right shoulder bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's abstract orthopedic surgical procedure name does not align with the medical services state and local governments are actually procuring. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth — none of which constitute orthopedic procedures or surgical interventions by the code's title.

The recent-opportunities block records six solicitations across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by a city retirement office, two cities, a county health system, a county board of commissioners, a state transportation department, and a county juvenile probation department. The opportunities span medical administration, health plan management, occupational surveillance, and clinical staffing — service categories fundamentally distinct from the elective orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being procured suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are tagging medical services. Bidders should verify the actual scope of work and required expertise through each solicitation's full documentation rather than relying on the code name alone.
