UNSPSC 85712554: Drainage of right elbow joint with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of right elbow joint with drainage device, 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 0R9L30Z

UNSPSC 85712554 Drainage of right elbow joint with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the scope of state and local government procurement activity captured in recent solicitation records. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous drainage of the right elbow joint with device placement — a clinical intervention performed in hospital or surgical settings on individual patients. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code, however, do not solicit surgical procedure services; they instead seek administrative and managed-care functions including independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty care carve-outs for employee health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These opportunities represent procurement of health plan administration, occupational health services, and staffing coordination rather than orthopedic surgical procedures.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include counties (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread spans Florida, California, Arizona, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for employee health plans; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations. The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure scope and the administrative and care-coordination nature of actual solicitations suggests either systematic tagging misalignment or that this code does not represent active procurement interest in the procedures it nominally describes.
