UNSPSC 85694730: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right 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 right 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 0PPT0KZ

UNSPSC 85694730 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right finger phalanx, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for excising implanted tissue substitutes from finger bones, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code do not align with orthopedic surgical services. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical networks through centers of excellence, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical removal of tissue substitutes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services outside its defined scope, rendering it an unreliable signal for firms pursuing finger-phalanx implant removal work.

The geographic spread of the six recent opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Washington (state-level), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county human resources and health systems, a state transportation department, and a county juvenile probation department — a fragmented mix. The only repeat buyer pattern does not emerge from this dataset. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RFP due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries (proposals due October 9, 2026, two-year term with extension options). Neither opportunity involves the orthopedic or procedural scope nominally described by the UNSPSC code.
