UNSPSC 85712619: Revision of spacer in left elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in left elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RWM48Z

UNSPSC 85712619 Revision of spacer in left elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block contains no medical device procurement, surgical supply orders, or orthopedic implant acquisitions aligned with that scope. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code—medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—reflect broader health and human services contracting by state and local entities rather than procurement of the surgical supply or procedure described by the code's name.

The mismatch suggests either a coding error in how state and local procurement offices are tagging their postings or that the code itself is being applied to administrative healthcare services rather than surgical supplies or implants. The issuing bodies in the block—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are seeking consulting, staffing, management, and benefit administration services, not orthopedic devices or revision procedures. No geographic concentration of device or surgical-supply procurement under this code is evident in the source material, and no representative recent opportunities for actual elbow joint spacers or similar orthopedic implants appear. Business development professionals should verify the code's correct application before investing pursuit effort.
