UNSPSC 85712030: Revision of internal fixation device in right 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 right 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 0RWL04Z

UNSPSC 85712030 Revision of internal fixation device in right elbow joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with its nominal scope of orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve revision of elbow joint fixation devices or the procurement of implantable orthopedic hardware.

The mismatch between the code's stated definition and the work actually appearing in recent solicitations suggests either a data-tagging error at the issuing jurisdictions or that the code is being used inconsistently across state and local procurement systems. Issuers include 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 — a mix of municipal, county, state, and health-system procurement offices active across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Until the code begins reflecting genuine orthopedic device procurement activity in state and local RFPs and RFQs, this category does not represent a reliable market signal for firms pursuing medical device or surgical implant contracts.
