UNSPSC 85694705: Replacement of right finger phalanx with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right finger phalanx with synthetic substitute, 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 0PRT0JZ

UNSPSC 85694705 Replacement of right finger phalanx with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no alignment with this code's stated scope. The source contains six recent opportunities from state and local health and human services agencies, none of which involve finger phalanx replacement or related surgical implants. Instead, the opportunities are tagged to this code despite covering occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Ferries), disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). The code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The mismatch between the code's orthopedic-procedure title and the health administration and staffing services actually being solicited suggests either a classification error in the source data or an artifact of how these jurisdictions tag health services contracts. Bidders evaluating this code for state and local opportunity pursuit should verify code assignments against the actual scope of solicitations before committing business development resources, as the Commodity code as currently tagged does not reflect the medical-administration and staffing work that state and local agencies are actively buying.
