This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RUW07Z

UNSPSC 85713170 Supplement right finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve orthopedic joint supplementation procedures. The code appears to have been applied to medical services procurement opportunities that fall outside its nominal surgical-procedure scope, suggesting a data-tagging misalignment rather than active procurement demand for the specific orthopedic intervention the code describes.

No state and local contract opportunities in the source material are pursuing the orthopedic joint-supplementation work named in UNSPSC 85713170. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare administrative services, staffing, and benefit management across issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, and state transportation agencies in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but these activities do not correspond to the code's stated commodity definition. Prospective vendors in orthopedic implants or joint-restoration surgical services should not rely on this code as a reliable procurement signal and may benefit from confirming the correct UNSPSC classification with state and local procurement offices before pursuing opportunities.
