UNSPSC 85712843: Excision of left elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of 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 0RBM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85712843, Excision of left elbow joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual medical services state and local governments are soliciting under this tag. The source shows no procurement activity for orthopedic surgical procedures themselves; instead, the code appears to be used inconsistently to label occupational health, medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services—work that falls outside the code's nominal scope. The mismatch indicates the code sees little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated medical procedure classification.

The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span state health systems, county pension boards, county human resources functions, and state transportation agencies, but their actual scope—occupational medical surveillance, disability retirement examinations, pharmacy administration, surgical procedure carve-out networks, emergency youth detention care, and temporary clinical staffing placement—bears no clear relation to elbow joint excision procedures. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on behalf of Washington State Ferries sought occupational medical surveillance with exams due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested disability medical record summaries and independent medical evaluations with responses due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing qualified vendor pool with proposals due October 7, 2026. Geographic representation spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The consistent tagging of health administration and occupational medicine services under this orthopedic surgical code suggests a data-classification issue rather than an active procurement market for the procedure itself. Firms seeking to pursue work under this code should verify the actual scope with issuing bodies before committing resources to response preparation.
