UNSPSC 85713730 Repair right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability retirement medical evaluations, surgical benefit program administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention medical services — none of which align with orthopedic surgical repair procedures on the hand. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a systematic tagging error in the source data or that this code is being repurposed in state and local procurement systems in ways that diverge significantly from its UNSPSC definition.

State and local buying under the code as currently tagged involves health systems and public retirement offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with recent issuers including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, $750,000 over five years, RFP RTMRFP26001 due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out benefits for city employees, RFP HR26753 due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations, RFP RFP20260825 due October 9, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members, RFP 25-8414), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories, RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052 due October 7, 2026). Because this code does not meaningfully capture the actual procurement category under which these opportunities are being bought, it is not a useful signal for business development targeting state and local health or benefits contracting.
