UNSPSC 85713224 Reposition right metacarpocarpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally names an orthopedic surgical procedure (repositioning of the right thumb metacarpocarpal joint via open surgical approach), yet the six recent state and local solicitations posted under this tag in the past three months span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency/specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve joint repositioning surgery. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error at the posting source or an overly broad application of this Commodity code to health services procurements that fall outside its scope.

State and local buyers posting under this code include county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), city retirement offices (Phoenix), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health systems. The geographic spread spans Florida, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Puget Sound ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out networks through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026, targeting April 1, 2027 go-live), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical procedure its name denotes.
