This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left thumb phalanx with autologous tissue 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 0PRS07Z

UNSPSC 85694709 Replacement of left thumb phalanx with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently being posted under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with orthopedic surgical procedures on the thumb. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure name and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited by state and local buyers under this tag.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state transportation departments, county health systems, county retirement offices, county juvenile probation departments, and municipal employee benefit administrators across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is requesting occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is requesting surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. The code's nominal scope bears no usable relationship to procurement opportunities in the market; firms evaluating this classification should treat it as a tagging error and instead monitor specific issuing bodies and health system RFPs directly.
