UNSPSC 85712519: Fusion of right elbow joint, 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 0RGL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712519 Fusion of right elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out benefits for government employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve elbow fusion surgery or match the code's clinical descriptor. The mismatch suggests either a systemic cataloging error in the state and local procurement systems posting these opportunities or a data-quality issue in the source material itself.

Recent opportunities posted under this code originate from state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but they do not reflect procurement activity aligned with the code's stated scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requested occupational medical surveillance services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) sought temporary staffing for multiple ancillary clinical roles. This code shows no relevant recent activity for orthopedic surgical procedures or elbow joint fusion services. Vendors evaluating pursue-or-skip decisions should verify the applicable UNSPSC code against actual solicitation scope before committing resources, as this category's posted opportunities do not align with the clinical procedure it nominally describes.
