UNSPSC 85713016: Removal of drainage device from right finger phalangeal joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from right 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 0RPWX0Z

UNSPSC 85713016 Removal of drainage device from right finger phalangeal joint, external approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—span occupational medicine, employee health benefits administration, and clinical staffing but involve no orthopedic surgical procedures, finger joint interventions, or drainage-device removal. The code's nominal scope describes a specific orthopedic procedure requiring a licensed surgeon; the opportunities solicited by state and local bodies (the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System) center on administrative medical services, benefits management, and staffing coordination rather than orthopedic surgical delivery.

The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that state and local procurement systems do not regularly tag orthopedic surgical procedures under UNSPSC 85713016. Absent evidence of recent opportunities actually soliciting orthopedic surgery, drainage-device removal, or hand-surgery services under this code, the category does not present a current opportunity window for firms pursuing state and local government work. A vendor monitoring this code should verify with issuing bodies whether procedure-specific UNSPSC codes are in active use in their jurisdictions or whether orthopedic and surgical services are consolidated under higher-tier family or class codes.
