This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85713933 Fusion of left finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve fusion procedures or surgical interventions at the finger joint level. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), county health systems and commissioners (Santa Clara Health System, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and municipal employee benefits divisions (City of Long Beach). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas, reflecting activity across multiple states and local jurisdictions rather than a concentrated regional market. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's solicitation for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414); and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's orthopedic surgical procedure description and the health-services administrative and staffing work actually being solicited suggests this code has been misapplied in the posting system or does not reflect genuine procurement demand in this commodity area.
