UNSPSC 85713681 Supplement right metacarpocarpal joint with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes orthopedic surgical implants and joint-replacement procedures, but the six posted opportunities tagged to this code in recent months are instead solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent disability medical evaluations, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention medical services — none of which involves procurement, implantation, or supply of metacarpocarpal joint prosthetics or surgical devices. The mismatch suggests that the code has been misapplied by issuing procurement offices or that the taxonomy mapping in the source data does not reflect the actual scope of work being purchased.

State and local health systems, counties, and public agencies posting under this code include the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), the County of Santa Clara Health System, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners. Geographic activity is concentrated in the West (Washington, California, Arizona) and South (Texas, Florida). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026, across 14 ferry terminals statewide), the City of Phoenix's RFP for disability medical record summarization and independent medical examinations for public safety pension boards (proposals due October 16, 2026, with a five-year, $750,000 maximum contract term commencing February 2027), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify that actual procurement intent aligns with their service offerings, as the code's nominal scope does not match the medical services and staffing work currently being solicited.
