This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right elbow joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RSLX4Z

UNSPSC 85711858 Reposition right elbow joint with internal fixation device, external approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal orthopedic surgical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or device placement. This mismatch suggests the code may be tagged inconsistently across state and local procurement systems, or that jurisdictions are using it as a proxy for broader medical services procurement when a more precise code is unavailable.

The few opportunities that touch clinical evaluation or medical services involve Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance with pre-bid on August 31, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence, proposals due October 7, 2026), Santa Clara County Health System (temporary ancillary health professional staffing pool, due October 7, 2026), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026 — a date in the past relative to the posting date), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026). Geographic activity appears scattered across Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida with no clear concentration. Given the divergence between the code's stated clinical focus and the service categories actually solicited, firms pursuing UNSPSC 85711858 should verify the precise scope within each RFP rather than assume alignment to orthopedic device placement work.
