UNSPSC 85695055: Extirpation of matter from left finger phalanx, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left finger phalanx, 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 0PCV3ZZ

UNSPSC 85695055 Extirpation of matter from left finger phalanx, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code appears designed to classify a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it do not reflect procurement of that service. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees, emergency and specialty healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these activities involve extirpation procedures on finger phalanges or comparable hand surgery. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement system or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the work actually being solicited.

The few opportunities that do involve medical procurement span diverse issuing bodies—a city retirement office, two cities managing employee health benefits, a state transportation department, a county juvenile probation department, a county health consortium, and a county health system—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The most concrete recent opportunities are the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical record summary and examination coordination (proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor-pool qualification for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (proposals due October 7, 2026). Because the code does not genuinely capture the procurement activity tagged to it, activity under this code should not be relied upon for market characterization or pursuit strategy.
