This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of right metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach.

UNSPSC 85713249 Replacement of right metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits—none of which involve metacarpocarpal joint replacement or orthopedic implantation. The mismatch suggests the code is either incorrectly applied by issuing bodies or reserved for a narrow class of healthcare contracting that does not surface regularly in state and local RFP activity.

The six recent opportunities sourced range across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, issued by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, proposals due October 7, 2026). These solicitations reflect municipal and county procurement of healthcare administration, staffing, and employee benefit services rather than surgical implants or procedures. The code shows no apparent concentration among repeat buyers and no clear geographic cluster; activity appears episodic and scattered across multiple issuing bodies and service categories that do not align with the stated commodity scope.
