UNSPSC 85712500: Joints arm, percutaneous approach-part C

This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the joints of the arm with percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0R.

UNSPSC 85712500 Joints arm, percutaneous approach-part C is a Class code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it. The opportunities record no actual purchases of joint-arm medical devices or percutaneous procedures; instead, they reflect solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, surgical care networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which fall within the code's nominal scope of orthopedic joint products or interventional procedures.

The mismatch between the code taxonomy and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source records or that this Class code sees little genuine procurement activity among state and local bodies. No representative opportunities tied to joint-arm procurement or related orthopedic device transactions appear in the recent-opportunities block. Firms pursuing state and local work under this code should verify that the UNSPSC classification accurately reflects their target market, as the tagged solicitations offer no meaningful signal of demand for products or services nominally described by this Class code.
