UNSPSC 85713367 Release left metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities tagged to this code — disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employee health plans, and occupational medical surveillance for state ferries employees — involve administrative medical services, benefits management, and occupational health screening, none of which correspond to orthopedic surgical procedures on the hand. A fourth opportunity requests information on emergency and inpatient medical services for detained youth, and a fifth solicits pharmacy benefit management services; neither relates to hand surgery. The code's nominal scope does not align with what state and local governments are actually buying under this tag.

No recent state and local contract opportunities targeting hand surgery, orthopedic surgical services, or any work substantively related to the metacarpophalangeal joint procedure described in this code's name appear in the available record. The mismatch between the code definition and the opportunities assigned to it suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code sees minimal or no genuine activity in state and local procurement.
