UNSPSC 85713725: Repair left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 0RQX3ZZ

UNSPSC 85713725 Repair left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the orthopedic surgical scope the code nominally describes. Instead, the tagged solicitations span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. These are administrative and clinical staffing services, not operative procedures on finger joints. The code appears to have been misapplied to these opportunities, and no state or local procurement activity matching the actual scope of finger joint repair procedures is evident in the recent record.

The geographic spread of the mislabeled opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation/Washington State Ferries), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County), indicating the tagging error is distributed across multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types including city retirement offices, municipal health plans, county health systems, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice departments, and county benefits consortia. No recent state or local opportunities for finger joint repair or related orthopedic surgical procedures are supported by the source material.
