UNSPSC 85713814: Removal of internal 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 internal 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 0RPW34Z

UNSPSC 85713814 Removal of internal 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 on hand joints, but the state and local opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and juvenile detention healthcare services. None of these solicitations involve removal of internal fixation devices or finger procedures. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the diverse healthcare administration and staffing work appearing in recent opportunities suggests either systematic tagging error or that this code is used as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not fit more specific categories.

Recent activity comes from Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with a proposal deadline of April 9, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFP for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026; and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody due September 25, 2026. The issuing bodies are a mix of state transportation departments, city retirement offices, municipal health systems, counties, and special-purpose districts. No single jurisdiction appears more than once in the recent set, and no opportunities directly align with the code's stated orthopedic surgical scope.
