This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of internal fixation device from right finger phalangeal joint, external approach.

UNSPSC 85713014 "Removal of internal fixation device from right finger phalangeal joint, external approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities recently posted under this classification. The six recent opportunities in the source block span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve orthopedic or surgical removal procedures on specific anatomical sites. The code's nominal scope describes a discrete clinical procedure, yet the opportunities tagged to it reflect administrative healthcare purchasing, benefits management, and occupational health services at the organizational level.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), two municipal governments (Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County Health System), indicating that this code receives activity from diverse state and local entities with healthcare administration, employee benefits, and detention services responsibilities. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Without a coherent connection between the code's procedural orthopedic definition and the administrative healthcare-purchasing work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors offering removal of internal fixation devices or related surgical services.
