UNSPSC 85712456 Release right elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability retirement medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures or percutaneous surgical techniques. The code assignment appears misaligned with procurement activity, suggesting either a data-quality issue in how opportunities are being tagged or that the code is rarely used for its nominal scope in state and local markets.

The geographic spread of actual recent activity includes Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations), Arizona (City of Phoenix disability retirement medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefits carve-out program, County of Santa Clara temporary health staffing), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). No representative recent opportunity directly aligns with the code's stated scope of orthopedic joint release procedures; buyers pursuing this code should verify issuing-body classification against actual work requirements before bid preparation.
