UNSPSC 85712515 Fusion of left elbow joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with a mismatch between its clinical procedure name and recent state and local procurement activity: the code shows no relevant opportunities aligned with surgical implant or orthopedic procedure acquisition. The six recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code instead span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit program administration, temporary clinical staffing, and detention-facility medical services—none of which involve elbow-joint fusion implants or the procurement of surgical devices. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and a municipal health system (Long Beach).

The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state or region. The posted opportunities range from late July through mid-September 2026, with response deadlines between September 25 and October 16, 2026. The largest contract is Collier County's Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026 but posted August 20, 2026) covering approximately $8.7 million in annual historical pharmacy spending; the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) spans 14 ferry terminals across Washington State; and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's Independent Medical Evaluation Services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is budgeted at $750,000 over five years. This code does not currently reflect active procurement of the elbow-joint surgical procedure or implant devices it nominally describes.
