This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute from right elbow joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85712434 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from right elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — orthopedic removal of tissue from an elbow joint — yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code comprise occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care network management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations represent administrative medical procurement, network-based care delivery, and staffing placements rather than orthopedic surgical procedures, suggesting a classification mismatch in the state and local procurement databases.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no clear concentration in any single state. Issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, health systems, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry locations across the state (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its nominal scope.
