This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to fusion of left metacarpophalangeal joint with internal fixation device, open approach.

UNSPSC 85713517, Fusion of left metacarpophalangeal joint with internal fixation device, open approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve orthopedic surgical procedures, implants, or medical devices; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical care networks — none of which correspond to the code's specific orthopedic procedure scope. The mismatch between the code's surgical device focus and the actual solicitations posted suggests either miscoding at the source or that state and local procurement offices are using this code inconsistently for broader health services categories.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county human services agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), representing a dispersed mix of jurisdictions across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the lack of procedure-specific opportunities under the code's stated scope, this Commodity code does not present actionable activity for orthopedic device or surgical procedure vendors at this time.
