UNSPSC 85714038 Destruction of right metacarpocarpal joint, percutaneous approach, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its medical-procedure taxonomy. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention medical services — none of which involve destruction of a metacarpocarpal joint or orthopedic surgical procedures. The code appears to be a medical billing or procedure classification that does not translate meaningfully to state and local government procurement patterns. The mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied or the opportunities were tagged incorrectly in the source system.

The six recent opportunities identified span Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, issued by the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management, due April 9, 2026, with historical annual pharmacy spending approximately $8.7 million), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (proposal to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary categories, due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies are primarily large county and municipal health systems, public safety pension boards, and state transportation agencies. No pattern of repeat activity under the code is evident, and no opportunities directly match the code's stated scope.
