UNSPSC 85712430: Removal of drainage device from left elbow joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device 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 0RPM30Z

UNSPSC 85712430 Removal of drainage device from left elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet state and local contract opportunities tagged under it across the recent sample span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing qualification pools, and pediatric detention facility medical services. These opportunities share no connection to orthopedic device removal and do not reflect the code's stated scope. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for health services contracting without regard to the procedure-specific taxonomy below it.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing medical and health services contracting — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara Health System — are active in recent months (July through October 2026) across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. However, none of these opportunities target the orthopedic procedure line named in UNSPSC 85712430. Businesses evaluating pursuit under this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and examine higher-level UNSPSC codes in the medical services family if health-care contracting is the target market.
