This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction 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 0R5W0ZZ

UNSPSC 85713581 Destruction of right finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not align with the state and local contracting activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention health services, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures on finger joints. The code appears to be a medical taxonomy misapplication rather than a procurement category; it reflects a medical billing or clinical classification that has been incorrectly mapped to procurement activity in state and local systems.

The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and Santa Clara County Health System have posted solicitations under this code between July and September 2026. These solicitations represent a geographic spread across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas and reflect health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing services — scope areas entirely unrelated to finger joint destruction procedures. No representatives recent opportunities show procurement of orthopedic surgical intervention or surgical device services. The code assignment appears to reflect either a data entry error or a systematic misclassification of health services procurement under an inappropriate clinical procedure code. Firms pursuing state and local health services, occupational medicine, or benefits administration contracts should rely on direct RFP review rather than this code's nominal scope.
