UNSPSC 85713809 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from right finger phalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — bears no meaningful relationship to the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee plans, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic tissue removal or phalangeal joint procedures. This code shows a fundamental mismatch between its discrete procedural definition and the broader healthcare administration and occupational health services that state and local issuers are actually purchasing. The issuing bodies include county commissioners, county health systems, state transportation departments, municipal retirement offices, and county probation departments.

Recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, posted September 16, 2026, RFP due October 16, 2026), California (Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out for Anthem PPO enrollees, posted August 26, 2026, due October 7, 2026; Santa Clara Health System temporary health professional staffing pool, posted July 7, 2026, due October 7, 2026), Washington (Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance for ferries workers, posted August 25, 2026, due October 9, 2026), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation RFI for specialty and emergency medical services, posted August 24, 2026, due September 25, 2026), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management, posted August 20, 2026, due April 9, 2026). The code does not reflect genuine procurement activity aligned with its definition; buyers and vendors should treat this code as inactive for decision-making purposes unless the sourcing organization corrects the classification.
