UNSPSC 85712404: Repair right elbow joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0RQL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712404 Repair right elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—orthopedic surgical repair of a specific joint via a defined clinical approach—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The solicitations instead reflect health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, medical staffing, and specialty pharmacy management—functions that fall outside the code's intended scope of individual surgical procedures or repair services. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities incorrectly, creating a mismatch between the code's clinical definition and actual buying activity. No recent opportunities show procurement of elbow joint repair services, whether as direct patient care, bundled surgical packages, or procedural carve-outs.

The six posted opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida jurisdictions including city retirement boards, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. Absent are concrete solicitations for orthopedic surgical repair, implants, or related clinical services that would represent legitimate buying activity under the code. Business development professionals should treat this code as having no actionable recent state and local opportunity pipeline and verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing any leads tagged to 85712404, as the classification appears systematically misapplied to health services contracting and benefits administration rather than clinical procedure supply or delivery.
