UNSPSC 85713506: Fusion of right finger phalangeal joint, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of 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 0RGW0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713506 Fusion of right finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for finger joint fusion, but the six recent opportunities tagged under this code—issued by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System between July and September 2026—address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, specialty medical staffing, and emergency healthcare services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic surgery, finger procedures, or joint fusion operations of any kind.

The mismatch indicates either a coding error in the state and local procurement databases or a systematic misclassification of healthcare administration and staffing services under an acute-care surgical code. No contracting activity under this code reflects the procedure it names. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and verify any future tagging against the actual scope of the underlying opportunity.
