UNSPSC 85713667 Supplement left finger phalangeal joint with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure involving joint repair using tissue substitute. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show little alignment with orthopedic implant procurement or surgical supply contracts. Instead, the opportunities reflect a broader portfolio of 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 detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary clinical staffing placement services. The mix of issuing bodies includes cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), county health systems (Santa Clara), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no clear concentration in a single region.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) supporting disability determinations for public safety pensions, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year initial term with options to extend). The City of Long Beach issued an RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits targeting Centers of Excellence networks (HR26753, due October 7, 2026, with go-live targeted for April 1, 2027), while Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, with historical spending around $8.7 million annually). The code shows substantial recent activity but does not reflect procurement aligned with its nominal scope; vendors evaluating this code should verify whether opportunities are being miscoded or whether the taxonomy has been reinterpreted locally to encompass broader healthcare administration and staffing services.
