UNSPSC 85713011: Removal of infusion device from left finger phalangeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion 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 0RPXX3Z

UNSPSC 85713011 Removal of infusion device from left finger phalangeal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure — extraction of an infusion catheter from a finger joint — yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Centers of Excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention medical services. These solicitations represent distinct clinical and administrative health services with no connection to orthopedic device removal. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding issue in the source data or that this commodity code is being used as a placeholder for broader health services procurement when a more appropriate code is unavailable.

No state and local procurement activity specifically targeting infusion device removal services, orthopedic surgical procedures, or related implant management has been identified in the recent opportunities block. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. Businesses evaluating this code should verify with issuing procurement offices whether the UNSPSC tagging reflects actual procurement intent or a data-entry artifact, as the opportunities present do not support a business case for pursuing work under the code's nominal definition.
