UNSPSC 85713941: Fusion of right finger phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right finger phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, 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 0RGW3JZ

UNSPSC 85713941 Fusion of right finger phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on the right finger, but the recent opportunities posted under this code classification do not align with orthopedic or surgical joint-fusion work. Instead, the state and local solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the specialized finger joint fusion procedure the code nominally describes.

The mismatch between the code's technical scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a data-classification error in the source material or a misalignment between UNSPSC coding practice and the taxonomy's surgical-procedure-level specificity. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) represent the recent activity attributed to this code, but none procures orthopedic surgical services or implants. Bidders should verify actual code assignment with issuing procurement offices before pursuing opportunities listed under this Commodity code.
