UNSPSC 85712731: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0RPL4KZ

UNSPSC 85712731 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with the code's stated definition. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that the code is being misapplied to broader healthcare service procurement by state and local issuing bodies.

The opportunities present do reflect genuine state and local healthcare service activity: the Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations with licensed occupational-medicine physicians (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting disability medical record summary and independent medical examination coordination for pension benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach is soliciting surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for its employee health plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Collier County is issuing an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately $8.7 million in annual spending (RFP 25-8414); and Santa Clara County Health System is building a qualified-vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuers including state agencies, counties, and municipalities. The code itself does not appear to be the correct vector for tracking surgical-procedure procurement at the state and local level.
