UNSPSC 85713414: Insertion of external fixation device into right finger phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of external fixation device into 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 0RHW05Z

UNSPSC 85713414 Insertion of external fixation device into right finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope of orthopedic surgical devices or procedures. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve external fixation devices or finger joint surgery. This appears to be a taxonomy mismatch issue rather than a procurement category with active market activity.

The geographic spread of the unrelated opportunities spans Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix pension board disability medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit program, County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency medical services RFI), with response dates ranging from September 2026 through April 2026. No state or local procurement activity under this code aligns with orthopedic surgical device insertion, and the mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that this Commodity code does not currently drive state and local contracting in the market.
