UNSPSC 85771611: Drainage of left elbow region, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 0X9C4ZZ

UNSPSC 85771611 Drainage of left elbow region, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code by state and local buyers do not involve drainage procedures or percutaneous endoscopic work on the elbow. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical record summary services, specialty medical procedure carve-out benefits for city employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations reflect health-plan administration, occupational health compliance, staffing, and youth detention healthcare rather than the orthopedic surgical intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the procurement postings or a divergence between the taxonomy label and how the issuing bodies are actually tagging their health-care-related procurements.

The recent opportunities span state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction or buyer type. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for pension-board disability determinations, due October 16, 2026; Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees, due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code shows little activity directly aligned with its stated scope and warrants clarification of its actual use in procurement classification before pursuing opportunities tagged to it.
