UNSPSC 85713666: Supplement left finger phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement left finger phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0RUX3JZ

UNSPSC 85713666 Supplement left finger phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six state and local opportunities posted since late July 2026 tagged to this code—including independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—address healthcare administration, benefits management, and occupational medicine delivery rather than orthopedic joint implant procedures or surgical interventions on finger joints. The mismatch between the code's specific clinical procedure name and the scope of actual solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or application of the code to a broader healthcare procurement category than the code taxonomy intends.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing-body types—a municipal retirement office (Phoenix), cities (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health system (Collier County), and a regional county health system (Santa Clara County)—across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. None of the opportunities directly solicit orthopedic implants, surgical devices, or joint replacement materials. Vendors evaluating this code should verify issuing-body coding practices before committing resources, as the disconnect between code definition and actual procurement may indicate either persistent classification errors or expansion of the code's application beyond medical device procurement into healthcare service contracting more broadly.
