UNSPSC 85712111: Replacement of right elbow joint with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right elbow joint with synthetic 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 0RRL0JZ

UNSPSC 85712111 Replacement of right elbow joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve procurement of elbow joint replacements or implants. Instead, the opportunities reflect medical services contracting across disability benefits assessment, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit program management, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This mismatch signals a tagging or classification error rather than genuine procurement demand aligned with the code's stated scope of orthopedic implant procedures.

The recent opportunities appear across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation for disability applications, RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence, RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP 258414, due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, RFSQ HHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no coherent procurement signal for orthopedic implants or joint-replacement devices at the state and local level.
