UNSPSC 85712112: Replacement of right elbow joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right elbow joint with autologous 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 0RRL07Z

UNSPSC 85712112 Replacement of right elbow joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures or implant-related work. Instead, state and local bodies are using this code to tag medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and surgical benefit program administration — none of which align with elbow joint replacement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determination; the Washington State Department of Transportation is purchasing occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; the City of Long Beach is procuring surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence; the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories; and Collier County is requesting pharmacy benefit management services. This pattern suggests a systematic mislabeling issue in which state and local procurement offices are applying an orthopedic surgical commodity code to a broad range of occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing services that fall outside its nominal scope.

Recent activity appears across Arizona, California, and Washington, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or state. The Phoenix RFP (due October 16, 2026) targets disability medical record summary and independent medical examination coordination for public safety pension determinations with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000. The WSDOT solicitation (due October 9, 2026) covers occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry system locations on a two-year term with optional one-year extensions. The Long Beach RFP (due October 7, 2026) seeks a surgical procedure carve-out benefit manager for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027. The Santa Clara County solicitation (due October 7, 2026) establishes a non-exclusive, multiple-award qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing with no guaranteed volume. Given the code–opportunity mismatch, the Commodity shows minimal relevant recent activity for orthopedic surgical procedure procurement.
