UNSPSC 85713258: Repair right finger phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0RQW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713258 Repair right finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect surgical orthopedic repair work. The code shows little relevant recent activity; instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve finger joint repair procedures or surgical intervention.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems or that this code is not actively used for its stated purpose. Issuers across Georgia, Florida, and California have posted opportunities under this code for health plan administration, correctional facility healthcare contracting, and emergency medical services oversight, but none of these services align with orthopedic surgical repair. A business development professional should verify the correct UNSPSC code for any surgical or orthopedic services work before investing pursuit effort.
