This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0RCL3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712538 Extirpation of matter from right elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it do not reflect surgical procedures or orthopedic interventions. Instead, the code shows activity for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record review and evaluation coordination, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's nominal medical-procedure scope and the opportunities actually solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare services work. State and local issuers pursuing work under this code include municipalities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems. No vendor appears more than once across the recent opportunities.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees, proposals due October 7, 2026, with contract execution targeted for April 1, 2027; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026, with no guaranteed work. The code shows no relevant procurement activity for the orthopedic procedure named in its definition.
