This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left elbow joint with internal fixation device, 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 0RSM04Z

UNSPSC 85712079 Reposition left elbow joint with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that carries a surgical procedure identifier but shows no alignment with the state and local procurement opportunities posted under it. The code appears to describe an orthopedic surgical intervention, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary staffing for ancillary clinical roles, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits coordination through Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve elbow joint repositioning or orthopedic implant procedures. State and local issuers are not procuring orthopedic surgical procedures themselves; they are procuring administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing support. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying opportunity records or a fundamental misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity.

The recent opportunities reflect issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and public sectors: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension administration), the City of Long Beach (municipal employee benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (detention health services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (employee pharmacy benefits), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include an RFP from the City of Phoenix for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000 and a due date of October 16, 2026; an RFP from the City of Long Beach for surgical benefit carve-out program management due October 7, 2026; an RFQ from the Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and an RFQ from the County of Santa Clara Health System for temporary health professional staffing (excluding nursing and physicians) due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement of orthopedic surgical procedures or implant devices.
