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 showing minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve hand joint services or orthopedic medical devices; instead, they span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work being solicited suggests this code is not a reliable vehicle for tracking hand joint–related state and local procurement.

The four identified opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—a Georgia county corrections facility (Muscogee County), a Florida county government (Collier County), another Florida county (Monroe County), a California county health department (San Mateo County), and a California city fire department (Santa Monica)—spanning Georgia, Florida, and California, with no geographic concentration. Representative solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services (response deadline May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services (posted April 9, 2026 with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million), and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care RFP (response deadline April 16, 2026). None of these opportunities involve hand joint procedures or equipment, indicating this UNSPSC code does not productively capture state and local procurement in its stated domain.
