UNSPSC 85713365 Release left finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the six state and local opportunities recently posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical network management, emergency youth detention healthcare, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which directly involve finger joint release surgery. The mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or that the opportunities are tagged incorrectly.

The recent solicitations span diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits management), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The opportunities span RFP and RFI notice types with response dates ranging from September 2026 through October 2026 and, in the case of Collier County, an outdated April 2026 deadline. No procurement appears to specifically target orthopedic hand surgery services or the procedural work the code nominally describes.
