This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of spacer from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85713819 Removal of spacer from left metacarpophalangeal joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its stated scope. The code's nominal description refers to a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged to it diverge significantly: they involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities directly procure the removal of metacarpophalangeal joint spacers or orthopedic implant removal services as a purchasable product or service line.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county health system. Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The code does not currently represent a coherent procurement category for orthopedic implant or surgical services; vendors pursuing orthopedic or surgical procedure work should verify the correct UNSPSC coding with issuing bodies before bid preparation.
