UNSPSC 85712179 Release left elbow joint, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal recent relevant state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local solicitations tagged to it. The opportunities posted in the source record are for independent medical evaluation services (Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations request the orthopedic surgical procedure the code describes; they address administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing coordination instead.

This mismatch signals that the code may have been misapplied to procurement opportunities in the source dataset, or that state and local jurisdictions are tagging broad health services categories with overly specific procedure codes. No representative recent opportunities directly soliciting release of left elbow joint procedures are present in the source material. If pursuing activity under this code, verify that tagged opportunities are actually requesting orthopedic surgical services rather than administrative or staffing work before investing in proposal development.
