UNSPSC 85713342 Removal of synthetic substitute from right metacarpocarpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code with no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on a single anatomical site and does not align with the scope of work present in recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code.

Recent opportunities posted under this code include occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation), disability medical evaluation services for pension boards (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). These solicitations span medical administration, benefits management, occupational health, and staffing—none involve orthopedic joint surgery or synthetic joint replacement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests either a systematic tagging error in the underlying source system or that this code is not in active use for state and local procurement. Business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing work under this code; the opportunities shown are better characterized by health services, benefits administration, or staffing codes rather than by a specific surgical commodity.
