This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right elbow joint with internal 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 0RGL44Z

UNSPSC 85712824 Fusion of right elbow joint with internal fixation device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with nominal scope tied to orthopedic surgical procedures, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with that clinical specification. The opportunities instead reflect a broader and misaligned portfolio spanning occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involves fusion procedures or implantable devices. The issuing bodies include county health systems, state transportation departments, county boards of commissioners, cities, and county juvenile justice departments. This code appears to suffer from tagging drift in the state and local procurement systems; the opportunities do not support a coherent business development strategy centered on elbow fusion implants or related surgical services.

Recent opportunities across multiple states include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program for Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool qualification (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity centers on Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code shows no recent opportunities for implantable orthopedic hardware, surgical implant distribution, or orthopedic surgery supply. Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit strategy, as the nominal code scope does not match the work currently being solicited or contracted.
