This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from 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 0RPX0JZ

UNSPSC 85713302 Removal of synthetic substitute from left finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with little relevance to its nominal medical-procedure scope. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not solicit orthopedic surgical services or finger-joint procedures. Instead, the opportunities posted under 85713302 span independent disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical network management for government employee benefit plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies are diverse — city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and municipal human resources departments (Long Beach). The code does not align with what is actually being procured in these solicitations, and the mismatch suggests either data-entry error or a taxonomic classification that does not track operational procurement practice in this commodity family.

The most recent opportunities span multiple states and notice types. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide. The City of Long Beach issued an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence for city employees and retirees. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFP (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical categories. Because the code's nominal scope does not match these opportunities, pursuit under 85713302 is not advisable — the code is either miscoded or represents such a specialized surgical procedure that it does not generate meaningful state and local procurement activity.
