This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition left metacarpocarpal joint with internal fixation device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85713223 Reposition left metacarpocarpal joint with internal fixation device, open approach is a Commodity code that appears to reflect orthopedic surgical procedure terminology, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with surgical implant procurement, surgical device supply, or orthopedic hardware. Instead, the opportunities solicited are administrative and clinical health services — occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care network coordination, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging artifact in the source data or that the code does not accurately represent the work state and local governments are actually buying in this space.

The issuing bodies represented include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and human resources divisions (Collier County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal health benefits administrator (City of Long Beach), a county juvenile justice agency (Harris County), and specialized public safety pension boards. Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries medical surveillance contract (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational health examinations across 14 ferry locations, the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability pension determinations at $750,000 over five years, and the Santa Clara County temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) spanning 13 ancillary clinical categories. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual opportunities posted, this code shows little relevant recent activity for state and local procurement professionals focused on orthopedic surgical device or implant supply.
