This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach.

UNSPSC 85713551 Extirpation of matter from right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The source contains no recent state or local opportunities requesting surgical procedures under this medical UNSPSC code. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which represent orthopedic joint surgery or related surgical extraction services. This code appears to reflect a medical procedure taxonomy ill-suited to state and local government procurement, which typically buys health plan administration, occupational health services, and clinical staffing rather than direct surgical procedures coded at the granular level of a specific joint and surgical approach.

No state and local contract opportunities under this UNSPSC code are present in the recent record. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities actually tagged to it suggests that either the code is rarely used for state and local procurement or that recent solicitations have been misclassified in the underlying taxonomy. Business development professionals should verify code applicability with procurement officers before pursuing opportunities tagged under this code.
