UNSPSC 85712473: Insertion of spacer into left elbow joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHM38Z

UNSPSC 85712473 "Insertion of spacer into left elbow joint, percutaneous approach" is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific orthopedic surgical procedure — does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefits medical record review and examination coordination, surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence, pharmacy benefit administration, youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which represent elbow joint spacer insertion or orthopedic procedure delivery. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated procedure scope.

No state and local opportunities in the source reflect procurement of elbow joint spacer insertion services or related orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the actual nature of recent opportunities suggests either a classification error in how the opportunities were tagged or that this code does not currently reflect active state and local procurement demand for this specific procedure.
