UNSPSC 85713157 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The six most recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue-substitute services; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-outs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve carpal joint reconstruction or nonautologous tissue revision—the mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the issuing bodies' procurement systems or that the code is used as a catch-all placeholder for diverse medical services unrelated to orthopedic intervention.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal governments (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county boards of commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-outs under its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, anticipated go-live April 1, 2027), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026). Without alignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured, firms should verify the accurate UNSPSC designation before pursuing opportunities under this code.
