This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device 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 0RWL35Z

UNSPSC 85712329 Revision of external fixation device in right elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's name denotes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve external fixation devices or elbow joint revision surgery. The mismatch indicates either a data-entry error in code assignment or a fundamental disconnect between the taxonomy label and how state and local purchasing offices are tagging these opportunities.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states and do not cluster around a coherent commodity. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance with a response date of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services; the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-outs due October 7, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Because the code's nominal scope bears no meaningful relationship to any of these opportunities, this code shows no relevant recent activity for state and local procurement in the external fixation device or orthopedic surgery space.
