UNSPSC 85713237 Replacement of right finger phalangeal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with that clinical scope. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve finger joint replacement procedures or orthopedic implants. The issuing bodies are state departments, county commissioners, city retirement offices, and county health systems; the actual work being solicited is medical administration, benefits management, and staffing services rather than medical devices or surgical supplies.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with activity concentrated across multiple regions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a non-exclusive vendor pool for ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services without volume guarantees. This code does not reflect substantive procurement activity in its stated clinical domain.
