UNSPSC 85713937: Fusion of left finger phalangeal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left finger phalangeal joint with external fixation device, 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 0RGX35Z

UNSPSC 85713937 Fusion of left finger phalangeal joint with external fixation device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code's clinical descriptor—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—does not align with the medical administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing services actually being solicited by state and local agencies under this code designation. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or an overly narrow code assignment to broader healthcare procurement activity.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical care bundled payment networks and Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty hospital services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026 but posted August 20, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including county government HR divisions, county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. Given the code's apparent misclassification, business development professionals should verify correct UNSPSC assignment before committing pursuit resources to opportunities in this category.
