UNSPSC 85721381 Supplement right metatarsal-tarsal joint with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes orthopedic surgical procedures, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect that scope. The recent-opportunities block shows no solicitations for orthopedic implants, joint-replacement supplies, or surgical procedure materials. Instead, state and local bodies have tagged opportunities under this code that span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, specialty surgical networks, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which align with the code's stated orthopedic-procedure definition. This mismatch signals either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health-related goods and services procurement outside its intended taxonomy tier.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal procurement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington State Ferries locations (due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity for the orthopedic surgical procedure supplies it nominally describes.
