UNSPSC 85713368 Release right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its surgical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span medical evaluation and staffing services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determination, the City of Long Beach (California) is requesting proposals for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program through Centers of Excellence, the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) is requesting emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, Collier County (Florida) is seeking pharmacy benefit management services, and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) is establishing a temporary health professional staffing pool. The code appears to serve as a catchall taxonomy tag for health-care-adjacent services rather than orthopedic surgical procedures specifically; none of the recent opportunities solicited metacarpophalangeal joint surgery, related surgical supplies, or orthopedic implants.

Activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with single solicitations from Washington State and Harris County. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments. The City of Phoenix opportunity (RFP RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) is the most directly health-services-focused, seeking independent medical evaluations for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under a five-year term with a maximum contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicitation (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026) is a structured cost-based competition for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations, with a two-year initial term and options to extend up to five additional one-year terms. No recent opportunities posted under this code reflect orthopedic surgical procurement, and business development professionals targeting state and local procurement of metacarpophalangeal joint procedures should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged to 85713368.
