UNSPSC 85713438 Insertion of external fixation device into right carpal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent opportunities posted under or associated with this code — spanning August through September 2026 — cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic devices, carpal joint procedures, external fixation hardware, or surgical implantation services.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the posted opportunities suggests either a taxonomy misclassification in the state and local procurement systems or sparse activity under the code itself. Business development professionals should treat this code as dormant for state and local contracting purposes and monitor whether future postings correct the classification or reveal genuine demand for carpal fixation device insertion services at the state, county, or municipal level.
