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 0RBL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85712272 (Excision of right elbow joint, open approach) is a Commodity code that sits at odds with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities filed under this code involve healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and medical direction for fire departments—none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or elbow joint excision. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification from a medical billing or ICD taxonomy that has been incorrectly applied to administrative and operational healthcare procurement in the state and local contracting system.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span multiple jurisdiction types: a consolidated city government (Columbus, Georgia), two Florida county boards of commissioners (Collier and Monroe counties), a California county health department (San Mateo), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California, with no clustering around a particular region or state. Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71; Collier County's RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million; and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (due April 16, 2026) for 2,300 county members. The code shows little relevant recent activity—the surgical procedure classification does not map to the healthcare administration and delivery services actually being procured under this tag.
