UNSPSC 85713548 Extirpation of matter from left finger phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code describes a specific surgical procedure on the hand, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it concern occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgery carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve hand surgery or orthopedic joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either a categorization error in the source data or use of the code as a placeholder catch-all for health services procurement.

The source contains no relevant recent opportunities under this code's actual scope. State and local procurement activity reflects general health plan administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing services rather than surgical intervention or specialized joint procedures. A business development professional evaluating this code for state and local pursuit should treat it as inactive for procurement purposes based on available signals.
