This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from 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 0RPXX4Z

UNSPSC 85713010 Removal of internal fixation device from left finger phalangeal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to actual state and local procurement activity. The code's procedural medical description does not align with the scope of the recent solicitations tagged under it, which instead focus on occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation administration, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services delivery for detained youth. State and local governments do not procure discrete surgical procedures through traditional contracting vehicles; they instead contract with medical service providers, health plans, and staffing networks to deliver clinical care and administrative health services. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical-procedure title and the broad health services procurement the source documents suggests either a classification error in the tagging or a fundamental misalignment between this Commodity code and state and local procurement practice.

The recent opportunities sourced under this code reflect issuing bodies across multiple jurisdiction types—state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county boards and health systems (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal personnel departments (City of Long Beach)—but none of the activity centers on removal of internal fixation devices from finger joints or any comparable orthopedic procedure. The geographic spread spans Washington, California, Florida, Texas, and Arizona, with activity posted between July and September 2026. Unless this code is intended to capture all health services contracting broadly, the source indicates no relevant current opportunities under the stated Commodity definition.
