UNSPSC 85713507 Fusion of right finger phalangeal joint with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in recent state and local procurement activity with significant misalignment between the code's surgical specification and the work actually being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures or tissue substitutes; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical care coordination through centers of excellence, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies—state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach)—and cover medical administration, occupational health compliance, benefits management, and clinical staffing. The geographic distribution includes Washington State, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit applications (due October 16, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's pool qualification for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The coding appears to be an indexing error rather than a signal of active procurement demand under this Commodity's actual scope.
