UNSPSC 85782667: Excision of left knee region, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left knee region, 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 0YBG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85782667 Excision of left knee region, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure; however, state and local governments do not procure or contract for individual medical procedures themselves. Recent opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health plan surgical carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute the performance of the specified surgical procedure.

The source shows a fundamental mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy and actual state and local procurement. Issuing bodies such as the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the Washington State Department of Transportation, the City of Long Beach, and Collier County are purchasing administrative health services, benefit management, and staffing — not surgical procedures. This code should not be pursued for state and local government contracting purposes; it appears to reflect misclassification in the state and local solicitation database rather than a genuine procurement category.
