This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition right 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 0RSW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713212 Reposition right finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with orthopedic surgery procurement. Instead, the code has been applied to occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, youth detention medical services, and surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs — none of which involve finger joint repositioning or surgical intervention on that specific anatomical site. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either mis-tagging in the underlying procurement system or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC classification and the substantive medical services being purchased.

The issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code span county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach). Recent solicitations from August through October 2026 reflect broader state and local healthcare-benefit and occupational-medicine contracting activity in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas, but none of these opportunities map to orthopedic finger joint surgery or related surgical services. If your firm pursues state and local healthcare contracts, monitoring this code's actual tagging practice may help you identify miscategorization patterns, but the code itself does not currently reflect a distinct, coherent procurement category.
