UNSPSC 85712816: Fusion of left elbow joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left elbow joint with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RGM47Z

UNSPSC 85712816 Fusion of left elbow joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity — the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with its surgical procedure scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System have all posted solicitations tagged to this code, but their actual procurements span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which constitute the elbow fusion procedure the code nominally describes. The misalignment between the code taxonomy and the work being solicited suggests either systematic classification errors in the state and local procurement systems using this code or that the code is being applied as a general health services placeholder rather than as a specific procedural line item.

Geographic distribution across the recent postings spans Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), but the spread reflects administrative headquarters rather than a concentrated buying pattern in this procedure category. No representative opportunities directly related to orthopedic joint fusion procedures appear in the recent postings. Firms pursuing state and local contracts under this code should verify whether their actual service or product aligns with the specific procedure named or whether a different UNSPSC classification would better position their offerings for matching to genuine opportunities in their target jurisdictions.
