UNSPSC 85771436: Alteration of left elbow region with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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, percutaneous 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 0X0C37Z

UNSPSC 85771436 Alteration of left elbow region with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose abstract clinical designation does not align with the work actually being solicited by state and local government under it. The recent opportunities in the dataset show no procurement of orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue-substitute implants; instead, the code appears to be misapplied to health services administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary staffing contracts. State and local buyers are using this code to tag medical services procurement, but the underlying opportunities involve disability benefit evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical carve-out benefit program administration, specialty pharmacy services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which are elbow surgical procedures or tissue-engineering interventions.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal employee health benefits offices (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health benefits consortium (Collier County Board of County Commissioners on behalf of the Collier County Health Care Consortium), and a county health system (Santa Clara). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 for disability benefit determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 for baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code's current application suggests misclassification in state and local procurement systems rather than active demand for the orthopedic procedure it nominally describes.
