UNSPSC 85712153: Removal of infusion device from left elbow joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device 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 0RPM03Z

UNSPSC 85712153 "Removal of infusion device from left elbow joint, open approach" is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code represent medical administration, health plan benefit management, occupational surveillance, emergency youth detention care, pharmacy services, and temporary staffing — none of which involve the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source opportunities or that this particular procedure code does not drive state and local contracting. State and local health systems, counties, and municipalities do purchase clinical and ancillary medical services, as evidenced by the opportunities cited (occupational medical evaluations at Washington State Ferries, specialty medical care through Long Beach's surgical carve-out network, temporary health professional staffing through Santa Clara County Health System). However, UNSPSC 85712153 itself has not surfaced in a directly relevant procurement vehicle. Potential bidders should verify code alignment in actual solicitation documents before investing pursuit effort on this classification.
