UNSPSC 85713570 Drainage of right metacarpophalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure on a hand joint—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this code in the state and local market. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code instead reflect broader health services procurement: independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing. These opportunities span medical consulting, health plan administration, occupational health compliance, correctional health delivery, and clinical staffing—none of which concern a discrete orthopedic surgical procedure.

Issuing bodies across the recent record include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), cities (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county government (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code assignment appears to be a data-entry or classification error; no state or local buyer is soliciting surgical drainage procedures under this code at present.
