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 contract opportunities on record. The code's medical taxonomy—percutaneous orthopedic joint procedures—bears no relation to the healthcare services, pharmacy management, virtual care, peer support, and medical direction roles documented in the most recent solicitations.

The opportunities posted under this code span correctional-facility medical and pharmacy services (Columbus Consolidated Government, Muscogee County Prison, RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026); pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); virtual primary and urgent care services for county members (Monroe County, Florida, RFP due April 16, 2026); peer support services for mental health peer workers (San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, RFP No. 2025-007, due July 2, 2025); and emergency medical services medical direction (Santa Monica Fire Department, RFP 455, due October 16, 2025). These solicitations originate from county and municipal issuing bodies and cover administrative health services, not surgical supplies or orthopedic devices. The geographic spread includes Florida, Georgia, California, and the greater United States. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work solicited suggests that UNSPSC 85712500 either carries little relevant activity in state and local procurement or that the code has been incorrectly applied to these opportunities by the posting jurisdictions.
