UNSPSC 85712516: Fusion of left elbow joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left elbow joint with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RGM37Z

UNSPSC 85712516 Fusion of left elbow joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it encompass disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with orthopedic joint fusion procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or misattribution in the opportunity data.

The geographic spread of the six recent opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with issuing bodies including a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city health authority (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health system (Collier County), and a regional health system (County of Santa Clara). No issuing body appears more than once, and no jurisdiction shows sustained activity under this code. Without a consistent pattern of elbow fusion procurement or related orthopedic implant and surgical services, this code does not present a coherent buying signal for business development purposes at this time.
