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 0RBM3ZZ

UNSPSC 85712543 Excision of left elbow joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose abstract scope does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The solicitations posted since February 2026 cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical procedures or orthopedic interventions. The code appears to have been misapplied to opportunities in healthcare administration, managed care, and occupational health services rather than to surgical cases.

The source shows no recent state and local procurement activity that genuinely matches the code's surgical scope. The five opportunities span Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy RFP due May 15, 2026), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026; Monroe County virtual primary and urgent care RFP due April 16, 2026), California (San Mateo County peer support services for behavioral health workers RFP due July 2, 2025; Santa Monica Fire Department medical director RFP due October 16, 2025), but none involve orthopedic or surgical procurement. This code shows little relevant procurement activity at the state and local level and should be deprioritized in favor of codes that capture the actual healthcare service categories these jurisdictions are buying.
