UNSPSC 85713605: Revision of external fixation device in left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device 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 0RWX35Z

UNSPSC 85713605, Revision of external fixation device in left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical procedures on finger joints or orthopedic device implantation; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these activities match the narrow procedural scope the code nominally describes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services including disability record review and scheduling of physician examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000 commencing February 3, 2027. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, is procuring occupational medical surveillance including baseline, periodic, and exit examinations across 14 ferry locations statewide, with examinations performed under supervision of a physician board-certified in occupational medicine.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span state agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipal bodies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope—the medical and surgical opportunities posted under this code address workforce occupational health, pension disability evaluation, and specialty surgical networks rather than orthopedic joint procedures. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should flag the apparent mismatch between the code's classification and the work being tagged to it, and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for finger-joint surgical procedures before pursuing opportunities listed here.
