UNSPSC 85721302 Revision of synthetic substitute in left toe phalangeal joint, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a single joint-replacement procedure. No recent opportunities actually solicit procurement of the orthopedic service named in the code itself.

The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or that the code has been repurposed to tag a broader family of medical and health services in these jurisdictions. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), cities (City of Long Beach, Harris County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health systems and probation departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), indicating fragmented use across diverse public-sector health and administrative functions. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington with no concentrated regional activity. Recent opportunities include Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out networks (due October 7, 2026). Without alignment between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought, this code should not be used to screen opportunities for orthopedic implant or joint-replacement service procurement.
