UNSPSC 85713366: Release right finger phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 0RNW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713366 Release right finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—specifically the release of the right index finger proximal interphalangeal joint via open surgical method—yet none of the six recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve surgical orthopedic procedures or hand surgery. Instead, the opportunities cluster around occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, Centers of Excellence surgical networks for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the procurement system or that the code has been applied to medical and healthcare administration services rather than the surgical procedure its name describes. This disconnect makes the code unreliable as a signal for direct procurement of surgical services or orthopedic procedure management at the state and local level.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), city human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county probation departments (Harris County), and county benefits administration (Collier County). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, valued at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at the ferry system due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code's recent posting history does not support pursuit based on nominal scope alignment.
