UNSPSC 85712128: Repair right elbow joint, 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 0RQL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85712128 Repair right elbow joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical repair, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not align with the code's stated scope. The source shows six recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, yet none solicit orthopedic joint repair services or related implants or supplies. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), specialty surgical care carve-out networks for municipal employee benefits (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing across ancillary health professions (Santa Clara County Health System). The issuing bodies are state health and transportation agencies, county government departments, and municipal human resources offices—typical state and local procurement entities—but the work being solicited bears no connection to orthopedic repair.

The geographic distribution of the six opportunities spans Washington, Arizona, California (two counties and one city), and Texas, with no concentration in any single state or region. The mismatch between the code classification and the actual work posted suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing procurement offices or database classification error. No recent opportunities solicit orthopedic joint repair services, surgical implants, or related supplies under this code. Business development teams pursuing orthopedic device or surgical repair work should not rely on this code as a reliable market signal; the code appears dormant for its nominal scope in current state and local procurement activity.
