This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of internal fixation device into left finger phalangeal joint, open approach.

UNSPSC 85713411, Insertion of internal fixation device into left finger phalangeal joint, open approach, is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its medical-device scope. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—address healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit design, not orthopedic surgical devices or surgical procedures themselves. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities; the source contains no evidence of state or local procurement of finger phalangeal joint fixation devices or related orthopedic implants.

State and local activity under this code is not currently visible in recent solicitation activity. The issuing bodies represented in the opportunities—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are purchasing healthcare services and administration, not surgical implants or procedures. For business development professionals tracking orthopedic device and surgical-implant procurement at the state and local level, this code does not currently support decision-making based on recent market signals. A vendor seeking to pursue finger phalangeal joint fixation opportunities would need to identify procurement activity through hospital supply contracts, health system surgical-services RFQs, or specialty orthopedic-implant agreements, which do not appear under this code's recent record.
