UNSPSC 85713808: Removal of drainage device from left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from 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 0RPX30Z

UNSPSC 85713808 Removal of drainage device from left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that scope. The opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve removal of drainage devices from finger joints. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the orthopedic procedure its name describes.

State and local issuing bodies tagging opportunities under this code include the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services). Geographic spread spans Washington, Florida, California, Arizona, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include WSDOT's request for occupational medical surveillance with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP, pre-bid conference August 31), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RFP), and Collier County's request for pharmacy benefit management services. The mismatch between code definition and procurement activity suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged or a significant drift between UNSPSC taxonomy and operational state and local classification practice.
