UNSPSC 85714440: Fusion of right finger phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of right finger phalangeal joint with nonautologous 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 0RGW4KZ

UNSPSC 85714440 Fusion of right finger phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code describing a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows no direct relevance to this code's nominal scope. The available solicitations under this code designation do not address orthopedic joint fusion; instead they cover occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for youth in custody. The mismatch between the code's technical medical procedure name and the actual work being procured suggests either miscoding in the source material or that state and local procurement offices are applying this code to health services administration rather than to orthopedic surgical procedures themselves.

The issuing bodies span county and state health authorities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System, the City of Long Beach, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 state ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical record review and independent medical examinations for pension applicants totaling $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical Centers of Excellence carve-out program for approximately 3,800 covered lives (due October 7, 2026). Activity concentrates in Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida, with no single geographic region dominating. The code shows activity across public-sector health administration and occupational health services rather than surgical procedure procurement, indicating either systematic miscoding or use of this taxonomy as a catch-all for health service contracting.
