UNSPSC 85713670: Supplement right finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement right finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue 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 0RUW37Z

UNSPSC 85713670 Supplement right finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or medical device implants; instead, they reflect a mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the work actually being bought. The tagged solicitations address independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for ferry system employees, specialty pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks through centers of excellence, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities align with the procurement of phalangeal joint supplementation implants or related orthopedic surgical supplies.

State and local buyers do not appear to be soliciting this specific orthopedic commodity at present under this UNSPSC code. The code's nominal scope—implantable tissue substitutes for finger joint repair—does not surface in current state or local contract opportunities. This signals either that the code is rarely used by state and local procurement offices, that such purchases flow through standing GPO agreements or indirect procurement channels not reflected in posted solicitations, or that the taxonomy classification is not in active use. For vendors pursuing medical device or orthopedic implant business in the state and local space, this code warrants verification against actual buyer coding practices in target jurisdictions before prioritizing resources.
