UNSPSC 85713611: Revision of spacer in right finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of spacer in right 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 0RWW38Z

UNSPSC 85713611 Revision of spacer in right finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—naming a surgical procedure on a single anatomical structure—does not match the scope of work appearing in the available recent solicitations. State and local opportunities tagged under or near this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve orthopedic hand surgery or joint spacer revision. The mismatch suggests either a misclassification of opportunities at the source or minimal recent procurement activity under the code's intended scope.

No state and local government opportunities for orthopedic hand surgery services, joint revision procedures, or related clinical supplies appear in the recent solicitation data. Bidders evaluating this code should verify that opportunities they encounter are correctly tagged before committing business development resources, and should monitor state and local health systems, managed-care consortia, and public employee health plans for procurement signals in orthopedic surgery networks or vendor panels if hand surgery procedures represent a material part of their service mix.
