UNSPSC 85771157 Excision of left elbow region, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — excision of tissue from the left elbow via open surgical approach — and appears designed for healthcare billing, medical records, or clinical decision-support taxonomies rather than public procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, medical record summarization for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit program management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations concern elbow excision procedures or any surgical procedure line item; the code mismatch reflects either a data-entry error in the tagging system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's clinical scope and the way state and local procurement offices are categorizing the work they are actually buying.

State and local buyers posting under this code in the past 60 days include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefit program, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry employees, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool across ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope; procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities or building pipeline strategy.
