UNSPSC 85712901: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left finger phalangeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left finger phalangeal joint, external 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 0RWXXKZ

UNSPSC 85712901 "Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in left finger phalangeal joint, external approach" is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the recent solicitations posted under this code classification. The opportunities on record include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve tissue substitutes, orthopedic implants, joint-reconstruction supplies, or related surgical materials or devices.

The mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is either misapplied to administrative healthcare services in state and local procurement systems or sees limited genuine use for the specific surgical procedure it describes. No opportunities in the source show procurement of nonautologous tissue substitutes, joint implants, or related surgical consumables. State and local governments solicit under this code infrequently if at all for its nominal purpose. A vendor pursuing orthopedic implant or tissue substitute opportunities at state and local bodies should verify code alignment directly with issuing offices rather than relying on this code classification alone.
