UNSPSC 85673729 Excision of left elbow bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical procedure classification and the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care coordination networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the specific orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies are state health systems and departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, County of Santa Clara Health System), county government (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city retirement and human resources offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and county juvenile justice systems. The code appears to function as a catch-all taxonomy marker for health services procurement broadly rather than as a precise descriptor of elbow surgery work.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services and disability medical record summary preparation (posted September 16, 2026, due October 16, 2026) with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical care carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (posted August 26, 2026, due October 7, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026). The code shows consistent activity but appears misaligned with its stated scope; business development professionals should verify code assignment accuracy against actual procurement scope before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
