This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right elbow joint, percutaneous 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 0RWL3JZ

UNSPSC 85712326 Revision of synthetic substitute in right elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's name refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefits management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical center networks for elective procedures, and emergency/inpatient services for detained youth. None of these activities involve elbow joint revision procedures or implant management. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems and boards, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation departments—a broad mix of public health and human services entities rather than orthopedic surgical specialists or facilities that would perform joint revision work.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, Santa Clara County Health System), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers due October 9, 2026; and the Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. This code exhibits no recent state and local procurement activity for orthopedic surgical procedures, implant devices, or joint revision services; the mismatch between the code's clinical designation and actual buying activity suggests potential data-classification error rather than a meaningful procurement category for business development targeting.
