This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into left elbow region, open 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 0XHC01Z

UNSPSC 85771145 Insertion of radioactive element into left elbow region, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal scope and the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's clinical descriptor—a specific surgical procedure involving radioactive implantation—does not match the services actually being solicited by state and local bodies under this code.

Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP due October 16, 2026); surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach, RFP due October 7, 2026); occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP due October 9, 2026); emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI due September 25, 2026); pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP due April 9, 2026); and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies span state departments, county purchasing offices, and municipal health systems. These opportunities reflect occupational health, employee benefits administration, and clinical staffing procurement—none of which involve radioactive surgical implantation. The code appears to have been misapplied to a broad health services family, suggesting either a data-entry error or a systematic miscoding of health procurement activities in the source system. A firm evaluating this code should verify the actual UNSPSC classifications used in its target markets before committing resources.
