UNSPSC 85713580 Destruction of left finger phalangeal joint, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under its stated medical procedure code. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical record summaries, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which align with the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to administrative and preventive health services rather than to specific surgical procedures. State and local procurement offices issuing under this code include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), and city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), indicating activity primarily in government employee and dependent health benefits administration rather than orthopedic surgery procurement.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) supporting disability retirement determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefit management covering Centers of Excellence networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with an annual pharmacy spend of approximately $8.7 million (258414, due April 9, 2026, though this date appears to precede the posting date and may reflect a data error). The code does not appear to describe actual orthopedic surgical procurement by state and local buyers in the recent record.
