UNSPSC 85713901: Insertion of spacer into left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of spacer into 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 0RHX38Z

UNSPSC 85713901 Insertion of spacer into left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted across state and local issuing bodies between July and September 2026 address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, emergency and specialty medical services in youth detention, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve insertion of finger joint spacers or align with the code's narrow clinical scope.

The mismatch between the code's descriptor and actual recent solicitation activity suggests either miscategorization by the issuing bodies or that this specific procedure is not currently being competitively procured at the state and local level. The recent activity is concentrated in medical administration, staffing, and benefit management services across Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (Ferries), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), but none involves the orthopedic implant or procedure named in this code. Firms pursuing state and local contracts should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and monitor higher-level orthopedic or surgical-supply codes if they offer related products or services.
