UNSPSC 85712974 Reposition right metacarpophalangeal joint, external approach is a Commodity-level code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code instead cover healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and medical directorship—none of which align with the surgical scope the code implies.

The five most recent opportunities attributed to this code span three states (Georgia, Florida, and California) and involve issuing bodies from different municipal and county jurisdictions with no repeat buyers evident in the sample. The Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, the Columbus Consolidated Government Finance Department, and Collier County Procurement Services in Florida issued the clearest healthcare-services RFPs: the Columbus body solicited comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), and Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026). Monroe County, Florida issued an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County in California sought a peer support provider for peer workers under a Mental Health Services Act Innovation pilot (due July 2, 2025), and the Santa Monica Fire Department posted an RFP for a Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes and appears to be a taxonomy misclassification in the state and local procurement systems.
