This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of internal fixation device in left finger phalangeal joint, open 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 0RWX04Z

UNSPSC 85713106 Revision of internal fixation device in left finger phalangeal joint, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on hand joints, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or finger-joint repair services. Instead, the tagged solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve the procurement or implantation of internal fixation devices.

The geographic spread across the recent opportunities covers Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but this distribution reflects the underlying medical and administrative services being solicited, not procurement of the device category the code describes. The mismatch between code name and actual solicitation scope suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this particular Commodity code does not currently drive material contracting activity in the state and local market. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether the misclassification is systemic or case-specific before committing business development resources.
