UNSPSC 85712817: Fusion of left elbow joint with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left elbow joint with external fixation device, 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 0RGM45Z

UNSPSC 85712817 Fusion of left elbow joint with external fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—represent administrative and staffing functions rather than surgical procedures or orthopedic implants. The mismatch between the code's technical name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the elbow-fusion procedure it nominally describes.

State and local buyers issuing opportunities under this code designation include county health systems (Santa Clara County), county commissioners (Collier County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The representative recent solicitations span occupational health surveillance for ferry workers (WSDOT, RFP, responses due October 9, 2026), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County, RFP, responses due April 9, 2026 at historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million), independent medical evaluation services for public-safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix, RFP, responses due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), and temporary health professional staffing for a county health system (Santa Clara County, RFSQ, responses due October 7, 2026). The code warrants close monitoring for misclassification or clarification from procurement offices; vendors pursuing opportunities in occupational health, medical staffing, or administrative health services may find activity here, but the code's current state and local use does not reliably signal opportunities in orthopedic surgery or implant procurement.
