This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from 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 0RPM37Z

UNSPSC 85712426 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from left elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. Recent state and local procurement activity, however, shows minimal alignment with this clinical code description. The most recent opportunities solicited under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical care bundling through Centers of Excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to the removal of autologous tissue from an elbow joint. The source records suggest a coding mismatch rather than legitimate procurement activity under this Commodity code's stated scope.

State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged with this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal governments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) and Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026). Given the systematic mismatch between the Commodity code's clinical specificity and the health-plan-administration, staffing, and occupational-health services actually being procured, this code shows little current relevance to firms pursuing orthopedic surgical procedure work or medical device supply.
