This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device 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 0RPL03Z

UNSPSC 85712161 Removal of infusion device from right elbow joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged to it span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves removal of infusion devices from elbow joints or procedural coding for that specific intervention. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the scope of actual solicitations suggests the code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or used as a catch-all tag for broader healthcare contracting that does not correspond to the procedure named.

The recent activity that is present draws from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP, due October 16, 2026), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP, due October 7, 2026, and County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing qualification pool, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty medical services RFI, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP, due April 9, 2026). No single issuing body recurs, and no geographic cluster emerges. Business development professionals should treat this code as unreliable for targeting healthcare procurement and verify actual scope through source solicitation text rather than relying on the UNSPSC classification.
