This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RGX47Z

UNSPSC 85714436 Fusion of left finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that appears to label a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical procedure codes or operative services. The opportunities solicited are occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension systems, surgical benefit carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve fusion procedures or surgical implants. The code does not reflect the actual work being procured; recent activity under this code designation shows a profound mismatch between the nominal UNSPSC category and the services state and local buyers are requesting.

The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county pension and health benefit administrators, county juvenile probation authorities, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No repeat buyers appear in the recent sample. The geographic spread spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County, Harris County), and Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation). Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance for ferry system employees across 14 state locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional extensions), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million (proposals due April 9, 2026, three-year initial term with optional renewals). This code should not be pursued under its current UNSPSC assignment, as the labeling error prevents reliable opportunity discovery.
