UNSPSC 85712357: Supplement right elbow joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right elbow joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0RUL3JZ

UNSPSC 85712357 Supplement right elbow joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—implantation of a synthetic elbow joint via percutaneous approach—but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of that service or related surgical implants. Instead, the opportunities reflect state and local governments' broader purchasing of medical services, benefits administration, and staffing across unrelated clinical domains: disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention medical care, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations address elbow joint implants, orthopedic implant procurement, or percutaneous surgical supplies.

The geographic spread across the recent opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation ferries division), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal employee benefits departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county commissioners, and county health systems. This diversity reflects the mismatch between the code's specific orthopedic focus and the actual work being solicited. Vendors pursuing elbow joint implant procurement should not rely on this code as a reliable signal for related opportunities; the tagging appears to be a classification error rather than a reflection of state and local demand for the procedure or product described.
