UNSPSC 85712703: Repair left elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0RQM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85712703 Repair left elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the five most recent opportunities posted under this code involve healthcare administration and management services rather than surgical repair — including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services. None of these solicitations reflect the procedural scope the code's name suggests. State and local agencies tagging opportunities with this code appear to be using it as a catch-all for healthcare services, not for the orthopedic surgery work the Commodity designation implies.

The issuing bodies span county governments, city fire departments, and county health departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. The recent activity includes Muscogee County Prison (Columbus Consolidated Government) issuing an RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services with proposals due May 15, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners soliciting pharmacy benefit management services with a deadline of April 9, 2026; Monroe County, Florida seeking virtual primary and urgent care services with proposals due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County Health issuing an RFP for peer support services (funding $580,000 total); and Santa Monica Fire Department posting an RFP for a medical director with a proposal deadline of October 16, 2025. The code shows no concentration among particular jurisdictions or states. Given the fundamental mismatch between the Commodity's nominal scope and the services actually being procured, this code warrants careful attention during opportunity screening to distinguish relevant healthcare procurement from misclassified listings.
