This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous 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 0RWX38Z

UNSPSC 85713603 Revision of spacer in left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that appears to describe an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity shows no purchasing aligned with this specific clinical intervention. Instead, the recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect broader healthcare service procurement — occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch between the code's narrow procedural name and the actual scope of recent solicitations suggests either misclassification in source materials or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the specific orthopedic service it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies represent a cross-section of state and local government: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic examinations for ferries workers across 14 locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, supporting approximately 75 annual disability determinations for public safety personnel; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026, establishing a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows little to no genuine activity in the orthopedic surgical domain it nominally addresses.
