UNSPSC 85694604: Revision of external fixation device in left finger phalanx, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in left finger phalanx, 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 0PWV05Z

UNSPSC 85694604 Revision of external fixation device in left finger phalanx, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this designation. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure on the hand, yet the opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic device revision or finger phalanx surgery. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code to a diverse array of healthcare administration and staffing services rather than to the procedural intervention the code describes.

The geographic spread of opportunities includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies spanning city retirement offices, municipal health agencies, county health systems, state transportation departments, county procurement divisions, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical scope and the healthcare administration work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a reliable purchasing category for business development targeting orthopedic device or surgical services.
