UNSPSC 85712626: Revision of synthetic substitute in right elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right 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 0RWL4JZ

UNSPSC 85712626 Revision of synthetic substitute in right elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a material mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve elbow joint revision procedures. Instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks, and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies include county human resources and health procurement offices (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), state transportation and ferries divisions (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal procurement functions (City of Long Beach). This diversity of issuing bodies and service lines suggests the code has been misapplied to cover general medical and occupational health services rather than the orthopedic procedure it nominally describes.

The recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (258414, due April 9, 2026, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million). The code shows no legitimate recent procurement activity aligned with its stated orthopedic surgical scope; vendors pursuing this code should verify correct code assignment with the issuing body before bid preparation.
