UNSPSC 85712156: Removal of synthetic substitute from right elbow joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0RPL0JZ

UNSPSC 85712156 Removal of synthetic substitute from right elbow joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted to state and local procurement channels between July and September 2026 — independent medical evaluation services for retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not correspond to the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification of these solicitations or minimal actual demand for implant removal procedures under UNSPSC 85712156 in state and local contracting.

The issuing bodies span diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic representation includes Arizona, California, Texas, Washington, and Florida. No RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notice explicitly solicits elbow joint implant removal or related surgical services under this code. Absent direct evidence of current procurement demand for the procedure, the code presents limited opportunity for business development at this time.
