UNSPSC 85771244: Alteration of left elbow region with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to alteration of left elbow region with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0X0C07Z

UNSPSC 85771244 Alteration of left elbow region with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually procuring under this code. Recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical network carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures on the elbow using autologous tissue. The code designation appears misapplied across all identified opportunities, suggesting either systematic miscoding in the source data or a fundamental mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the medical and administrative services being sourced.

The identified opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County, Harris County, Collier County), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 maximum five-year contract term and October 16, 2026 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 deadline; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive, multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing with an October 7, 2026 deadline. Given the absence of orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue-graft work in any posted opportunity, this code warrants reassessment for correct application or should be flagged as inactive for procurement purposes.
