UNSPSC 85712107: Replacement of left elbow joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left elbow joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, 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 0RRM0KZ

UNSPSC 85712107 Replacement of left elbow joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's taxonomy entry describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect medical services administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and health professional staffing—none of which involve elbow joint replacement or comparable surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the source or that this code is used inconsistently across state and local procurement systems to capture health service procurement broadly rather than the specific procedure the code name indicates.

The source shows no recent state and local opportunities actually soliciting elbow joint replacement surgery, surgical supplies, or related orthopedic implants or devices. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluations for disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP due October 16, 2026), surgical carve-out benefit program administration (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries, RFP due October 9, 2026), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI due September 25, 2026), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP deadline April 9, 2026), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System, due October 7, 2026). None involves procurement of surgical implants, devices, or procedure-specific medical care. Buyers pursue this code if your firm provides health services administration or workforce staffing; skip it if your focus is orthopedic devices or surgical implant supply.
