UNSPSC 85713503: Fusion of left finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, 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 0RGX07Z

UNSPSC 85713503, Fusion of left finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, open approach (Commodity), does not support current state and local procurement activity. The code shows no alignment with the recent opportunities identified in the source material, which reflect administrative healthcare contracting and occupational or employee health services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures on specific anatomical sites.

The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code—including independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out and Centers of Excellence network management (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services in a youth detention setting (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County)—do not involve fusion procedures, phalangeal joints, or autologous tissue grafting. The mismatch between the UNSPSC commodity definition and the contracting activity suggests either a classification error in the source data or that this specific surgical procedure code does not drive state and local procurement demand at present. Business development professionals should verify the accuracy of the code assignment before committing pursuit resources to opportunities ostensibly tagged to this category.
