This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left elbow region, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0XBC4ZZ

UNSPSC 85771603 Excision of left elbow region, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect actual state and local government procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical networks, and youth detention healthcare — none of which align with procurement of a defined surgical procedure. State and local governments do not acquire surgical procedures themselves as line-item commodities; instead, they contract for healthcare administration, benefits management, provider networks, and occupational health services. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited.

Activity under this code spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, though the opportunities reflect healthcare administration and staffing rather than the procedural service the code names. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry personnel (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical specialty center-of-excellence networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, historically $8.7 million annually). The issuing bodies are municipal pension boards, state transportation departments, cities, counties, and county health systems. Given the mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the administrative and staffing services actually being bought, this code should not drive pursuit decisions for firms serving state and local buyers.
