UNSPSC 85712217: Insertion of internal fixation device into left elbow joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into 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 0RHM04Z

UNSPSC 85712217 Insertion of internal fixation device into 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 five recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County Prison), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), virtual primary and urgent care (Monroe County), peer support services (San Mateo County), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica)—are health care administration, managed care, and clinical governance contracts unrelated to orthopedic surgical implants or joint fixation procedures. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these health services opportunities incorrectly to the UNSPSC code, likely due to broad coding of medical service categories rather than narrowly scoped device procurement.

The geographic spread of these mismatched opportunities spans Georgia, Florida, California, and broader state systems, but none reflects actual purchasing patterns for the device category named in the code. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for orthopedic implant sales into state and local government. If pursuing health services contracts in these jurisdictions—particularly inmate medical care, benefits administration, or clinical staffing—the relevant driver is the health services opportunity itself, not the UNSPSC code assignment. Verify opportunity coding directly with the issuing procurement office before building strategy around this commodity classification.
