UNSPSC 85712403: Repair left elbow joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair left 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 0RQM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712403 Repair left elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently posted under its number. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it reflect healthcare administration and management services—primarily inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support workforce services, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve elbow joint repair or surgical intervention of any kind. The mismatch appears to reflect either a classification error in the sourcing system or a systematic misalignment between the code's clinical scope and how state and local procurement databases are tagging healthcare management contracts.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county corrections departments (Muscogee County Prison, Georgia), county commissioners' offices managing employee health benefits (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Recent representative opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for inmate medical and pharmacy services at a 576-inmate facility 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 covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million; and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026) for approximately 2,300 county members. Activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with one California opportunity. Given the structural disconnect between the code's stated scope and actual procurement, vendors should verify classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to this number.
