This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right elbow joint with external 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 0RSL05Z

UNSPSC 85712081 Reposition right elbow joint with external fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it. The six state and local solicitations posted between July and September 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, specialty medical services in youth detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve elbow joint repositioning or orthopedic surgical procedures. This mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or that opportunities are classified at a higher tier of the UNSPSC taxonomy.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities block include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county health system, indicating that when medical and health services are procured by state and local entities, they span occupational health, pension administration, employee benefits, detention healthcare, and temporary staffing rather than discrete surgical procedures. Geographic spread in the recent block covers Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Absent opportunities specifically matching the code's stated scope, business development professionals should verify whether this code remains active in their target jurisdictions and consider whether higher-tier UNSPSC family or class codes better capture orthopedic or surgical service procurement.
