UNSPSC 85712022: Revision of internal fixation device in left elbow joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left elbow joint, open 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 0RWM04Z

UNSPSC 85712022 Revision of internal fixation device in left elbow joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a surgical orthopedic procedure, but the recent opportunities logged against this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve revision of internal fixation devices or orthopedic joint surgery. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a broad proxy for medical services when a more precise classification would apply.

The issuing bodies include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System), county human resources and procurement offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and health consortiums (Collier County Health Care Consortium). Recent opportunities cluster in California (City of Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara County), Texas (Harris County), Washington State (WSDOT), and Arizona (City of Phoenix), with response dates ranging from September 25, 2026 through October 16, 2026. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026).
