This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right radius, percutaneous 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 0PWH3JZ

UNSPSC 85693517 Revision of synthetic substitute in right radius, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that sits at odds with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the most recent solicitations do not reflect procurement of that specific service or any surgical implant work. Instead, the opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, health benefit administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which align with the code's stated scope of a percutaneous radius revision procedure.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities span county health systems, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation, county government benefits administration, and county health care consortiums across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 maximum over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing vendor qualification pool (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its orthopedic surgical procedure title, suggesting either tagging error or substantial divergence between the code's intended scope and how state and local procurement offices are using it in practice.
