This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right finger phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85713168, Supplement right finger phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its orthopedic surgical scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of the specific implant or surgical procedure named in the code; instead, they reflect a mismatch between code assignment and actual work being solicited—state and local jurisdictions are instead requesting occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve procurement of finger joint implants or related surgical materials.

The geographic and issuing-body mix in recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdiction types: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit program management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management). No bidders or vendors are named as winners, and no dollar values specific to this code tier are present. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears to have been assigned to opportunities addressing medical services administration and workforce staffing rather than orthopedic implant procurement. State and local governments pursuing this code should verify with issuing bodies whether orthopedic implant procurements are planned separately under different UNSPSC categories or commodity codes.
