UNSPSC 85713813: Removal of external fixation device from right finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of external fixation device from 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 0RPW35Z

UNSPSC 85713813 Removal of external fixation device from right finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical Center of Excellence networks, emergency and specialty services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve removal of external fixation devices or finger phalangeal procedures. The mismatch suggests the code is not being used as intended for state and local procurement, and no substantive opportunities for orthopedic device removal services are present in the recent record under this code.

State and local buyers do solicit medical and surgical services broadly across health departments, county systems, pension boards, and municipalities, but the opportunities in this dataset do not align with the specific procedural scope this Commodity code names. Firms evaluating whether to pursue work under 85713813 should verify with issuing bodies whether they intend to use this code for future procurement related to external fixation device removal or related orthopedic surgical services, as current posting patterns do not support activity in this narrow specialty area.
