UNSPSC 85694973: Replacement of left thumb phalanx with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of left thumb phalanx with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0PRS3KZ

UNSPSC 85694973 Replacement of left thumb phalanx with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure classification and the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged to this code are actually requesting occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic implant procedures or surgical reconstruction. The mismatch suggests either a coding classification error in the posting systems or a temporary misalignment in how issuing bodies are tagging health services. The code shows little relevant recent activity for firms seeking to pursue orthopedic implant supply or procedural services.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state health systems, county government health and human services divisions, and municipal retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The County of Santa Clara Health System, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department appear in the recent block; activity is geographically dispersed across the West and South without concentration in any single state. Representative recent opportunities include Santa Clara's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (multiple ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026), Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), and Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at ferry operations across 14 locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026).
