UNSPSC 85712055 Supplement left elbow joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code. The recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code bear no relation to orthopedic surgical implants or tissue-engineering services. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code involve comprehensive healthcare service delivery for correctional facilities, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—and the actual solicitations suggests the code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. Jurisdictions appear to have tagged these healthcare management and consulting services incorrectly, or the code itself is being used as a catch-all for unrelated health services.

The issuing bodies include county corrections departments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county boards of commissioners administering employee health plans (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health divisions (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026, with an incumbent cost of $95,537.71 monthly; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, due April 9, 2026, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million; and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026. None of these opportunities align with orthopedic implant supply or surgical services.
