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 0PSRXZZ

UNSPSC 85694534 Reposition right thumb phalanx, external approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitation activity, does not align with the work being procured under this designation. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure on the thumb, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve thumb phalanx repositioning or orthopedic hand surgery; the mismatch suggests a classification or tagging error in the source data rather than substantive procurement activity aligned with the code's procedural scope.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include state health departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and city retirement offices and municipal employment agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 maximum compensation over five years, and the Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing vehicle for multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Because the code shows no genuine activity in hand or orthopedic surgery, pursuit under this designation warrants clarification with the issuing jurisdictions on correct code assignment before investment in proposal development.
