UNSPSC 85673718: Extirpation of matter from right 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 right 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 0MC74ZZ

UNSPSC 85673718 Extirpation of matter from right hand bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code. The source material contains no medical or surgical procedures matching the code's nominal scope; instead, the opportunities reflect administrative healthcare services—medical evaluation coordination, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which correspond to orthopedic surgical intervention. The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated definition.

The mismatch between the code taxonomy and the actual procurement activity suggests either a data classification error in the state or local procurement system or a fundamental misalignment in how this code has been applied. State and local procurement offices sometimes tag health services contracts with clinical procedure codes rather than services codes. Buyers in this space should verify the correct UNSPSC classification when pursuing similar opportunities—healthcare services, medical staffing, and benefits administration typically fall under different Family or Class codes. The recent opportunities—Phoenix's disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's surgical carve-out benefit program (due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), Santa Clara County's temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026), and others—are legitimate state and local healthcare procurements but do not belong under this Commodity code.
