UNSPSC 85713441: Fusion of left finger phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 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 0RGX0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713441 Fusion of left finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve fusion of finger joints or orthopedic surgery procurement in any consistent form. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the source or that this Commodity sits outside the current state and local procurement mainstream.

The issuing bodies represented in the tagged opportunities include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose health systems (Santa Clara Health System). Activity is geographically dispersed across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries (due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026 at $8.7 million historical annual spend). Given the systematic divergence between the code's surgical scope and the health-services opportunities tagged to it, this code warrants reassessment for accurate classification before building a pursuit strategy.
