UNSPSC 85711827: Revision of spacer in right elbow joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in right elbow joint, external 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 0RWLX8Z

UNSPSC 85711827 Revision of spacer in right elbow joint, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—orthopedic surgical procedure coding—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The source documents show no procurement activity for orthopedic joint procedures or medical devices. Instead, the opportunities are tagged with this code but solicit independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty emergency medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying procurement system or a data-tagging anomaly; none of the six opportunities actually concern elbow joint revision procedures or related surgical supplies.

The opportunities do span multiple state and local jurisdictions—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—and cover requests issued between July and September 2026 with response deadlines ranging from September 25 through October 16, 2026. The dominant activity is in administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing rather than procedure-specific orthopedic work. Given the absence of orthopedic surgical procedure opportunities under this code in the source, the code shows little decision-relevant recent procurement activity for firms pursuing work aligned with its stated scope.
