This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of radioactive element into right 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 0XHB01Z

UNSPSC 85771148 Insertion of radioactive element into right elbow region, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve insertion of radioactive elements or orthopedic surgical procedures at the elbow. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification misapplied to general health services contracting, suggesting either a tagging error by the issuing bodies or a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and state and local procurement practice in this domain.

The issuing bodies span county-level and municipal health systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System) and a state transportation authority (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Given the scope mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited, pursuit under this code is not recommended without clarification from the issuing body regarding the intended UNSPSC classification.
