UNSPSC 85713317 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedural title and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect health services procurement across multiple institutional contexts — occupational and disability medical surveillance, pension-board independent medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention medical services, and temporary health professional staffing — but none specifically concern removal of tissue substitutes from joints. The code appears to be a procedural taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems have applied as a catch-all classification for health services contracting without regard to the narrow clinical specificity of the code's nominal title.

Recent activity originates from Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluations; Harris County, Texas, youth detention medical services), California (City of Long Beach, surgical benefit programs; County of Santa Clara Health System, temporary health professional staffing), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, occupational medical surveillance), and Florida (Collier County, pharmacy benefit management). The issuing bodies span city human resources and pension departments, county health systems, and state transportation authorities. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits (response due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (response due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (response due October 7, 2026). The code shows active recent procurement but limited relevance to its stated orthopedic surgical scope; buyers should verify alignment with specific service lines before committing pursuit resources.
