UNSPSC 85673742: Drainage of left elbow bursa and ligament with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left elbow bursa and ligament with drainage device, 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 0M9440Z

UNSPSC 85673742, Drainage of left elbow bursa and ligament with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County—do not involve elbow drainage procedures. Instead, they solicit independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None align with the code's stated scope of orthopedic drainage work.

State and local procurement bodies issuing under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability determinations for public safety personnel), the City of Long Beach (employee health benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health for ferry workers), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (detained youth care), Collier County Human Resources (pharmacy administration), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (ancillary clinical staffing). The code appears to be a miscategorization across multiple jurisdictions rather than a live procurement category for the procedural work it nominally describes. No opportunities reflect the orthopedic surgical or drainage services the commodity code names, suggesting vendors in elbow or upper-extremity orthopedic procedures should not expect solicitation activity under this designation.
