UNSPSC 85673762: Destruction of right elbow bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right elbow 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 0M534ZZ

UNSPSC 85673762 (Destruction of right elbow bursa and ligament, percutaneous endoscopic approach) is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure classification. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and specialty emergency services for detained youth — none of which correspond to orthopedic surgical procedures on the elbow. This code appears to be a taxonomy mismatch in state and local procurement systems; opportunities tagged to it represent general health services contracting rather than a discrete surgical service line.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), with geographic activity concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited, this code warrants close review before pursuit — the procurement activity is real, but the UNSPSC classification does not reflect the actual service categories being bought.
