UNSPSC 85713500: Joints hand, open approach-part E

This class includes one or more of 16 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the joints of the hand with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0R.

UNSPSC 85713500 Joints hand, open approach-part E is a Class code with little recent activity aligned to its nominal medical-device scope in state and local procurement. The six opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 are overwhelmingly administrative and occupational health services — disability medical record summarization, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty pharmacy management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and emergency care for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve hand-joint medical devices or surgical supplies. The issuing bodies span a city retirement office (Phoenix), two municipal governments (Long Beach, Tacoma), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county health system (Santa Clara), a county juvenile probation department (Harris), and a county health consortium (Collier County, Florida). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant jurisdiction.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and a response deadline of October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance at 14 ferry locations statewide, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) establishing a multiple-award vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical and ancillary categories, proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows significant misalignment between its orthopedic-device classification and actual procurement activity, suggesting the code may be incorrectly tagged in source systems or that hand-joint device procurement at state and local level does not flow through this taxonomy assignment.
