This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right humeral shaft, external approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0PWFXJZ

UNSPSC 85692927 Revision of synthetic substitute in right humeral shaft, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal taxonomy label—orthopedic surgical procedure—bears no relationship to the state and local opportunities recently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged with this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, and surgical carve-out benefits for public employee health plans. None of these procurements involve orthopedic implants, prosthetic devices, or surgical revision procedures. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its intended scope and current usage in state and local procurement systems, suggesting either data-quality issues in how opportunities are being classified or a systematic miscoding problem within the taxonomy itself.

State and local procurement activity under this code, as presently tagged, originates from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile justice agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026) represent the two most concrete recent opportunities, though neither involves the orthopedic surgical services the code nominally describes. Until the classification is corrected, this code presents minimal decision value for firms pursuing state and local orthopedic device or surgical services contracts.
