UNSPSC 85713143 Revision of spacer in right metacarpocarpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code's title references a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the six recent state and local opportunities tagged to it center on occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve joint spacer revision or metacarpocarpal procedures. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied or the underlying procurement taxonomy does not align these healthcare service categories with orthopedic device or surgical procedure codes as constructed.

State and local buyers posting under this code in recent months include county health systems (Santa Clara County), county commissioners (Collier County), state departments of transportation (Washington), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal benefits administrators (City of Long Beach), and county justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). Geographic activity spans California, Florida, Washington, Arizona, and Texas. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services supporting approximately 75 annual benefit applications (proposals due October 16, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for its stated orthopedic scope and verify the intended commodity classification before pursuing opportunities currently tagged to it.
