UNSPSC 85712147: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left elbow joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left 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 0RPM0KZ

UNSPSC 85712147 "Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left elbow joint, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under its classification. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for orthopedic joint implant removal, yet the six recent opportunities—spanning independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—concern procurement of medical services administration and staffing rather than surgical implant removal procedures. The opportunities reflect what state and local governments are actually buying: administrative layers of healthcare service delivery, medical record management, occupational health programs, benefit carve-outs, and clinical workforce augmentation. No posting directly solicits surgical implant removal or related materials.

The issuing bodies span diverse state and local sectors: a city retirement board (Phoenix), municipal government (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile probation agency (Harris County), a county human resources and healthcare consortium (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with the most recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the nearest-term opportunities; however, neither addresses the code's ostensible scope of tissue-substitute surgical procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal commodity definition.
