UNSPSC 85712837: Extirpation of matter from left elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 0RCM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85712837 Extirpation of matter from left elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's abstract clinical descriptor does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code instead reflect general occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefits administration, surgical procedure carve-outs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this UNSPSC category is rarely used for direct procurement by public agencies.

The six recent opportunities sourced under this code span medical services procurement across diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferries workforce), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with response dates concentrated in September and October 2026. None of these solicitations involves the elbow joint procedure the code nominally describes, indicating either systematic code misapplication or that the commodity classification does not reflect actual state and local buying patterns under this number.
