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 0RGM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712513 Fusion of left elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code cover occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or elbow joint fusion. The code's nominal scope describes a specific operative procedure, whereas the opportunities show procurement activity across administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and clinical staffing arrangements. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed to capture broader healthcare procurement activity beyond its intended clinical taxonomy.

The issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources offices (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), city retirement administrations (Phoenix), and municipalities (Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). Given the disconnect between the code's clinical procedure nomenclature and the administrative and staffing services actually being procured, this code shows little relevant recent activity for firms specializing in orthopedic surgery or joint fusion procedures.
