UNSPSC 85673717: Extirpation of matter from left hand bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left hand 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 0MC84ZZ

UNSPSC 85673717 Extirpation of matter from left hand bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align with the work actually being procured under this classification. The recent opportunities posted with this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty emergency medical services for detained youth, and specialty medical examinations for public safety personnel — none of which describe orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue extraction. The code appears to have been misapplied to administrative and preventive medical services that fall outside its nominal scope of a specific surgical intervention on the left hand bursa and ligament.

State and local purchasing offices issuing under this code include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of pension boards, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread reflects activity in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. The source supports no recent opportunities that actually solicit surgical procedures, tissue extraction services, or related orthopedic supplies matching the code's stated definition. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the recent opportunities suggests either data-entry error at the point of posting or systematic misclassification in the issuing office's procurement system.
