UNSPSC 85694725: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left finger phalanx, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from 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 0PPV0KZ

UNSPSC 85694725 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left finger phalanx, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure for tissue removal — does not map to the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs through Centers of Excellence, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and commissions (Santa Clara, Collier County, Harris County), and municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix).

The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas, with no clear concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, RFP), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for public safety disability determinations at $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026, RFP), and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ). The mismatch between the code's procedural description and the actual scope of recent solicitations suggests this code is either misapplied by issuing jurisdictions or carries little relevant procurement activity for vendors in orthopedic or surgical services.
