UNSPSC 85713334, Removal of synthetic substitute from left metacarpocarpal joint, open approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's abstract medical procedure definition does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it, which instead focus on occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out programs for employee benefits. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic joint procedures or synthetic implant removal, indicating a tagging mismatch between the code and the work actually being procured.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Geographic concentration is not apparent from this sample. The code does not support meaningful business development guidance for firms pursuing state and local contracts under its stated UNSPSC definition.
