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 0PWSX5Z

UNSPSC 85694514 Revision of external fixation device in left thumb phalanx, external approach is a Commodity code; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little activity directly aligned with orthopedic device revision procedures. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code reflect broader occupational health, medical evaluation, and employee health benefit administration services—a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county governments, state transportation departments, health systems, and county probation departments, spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The work being solicited encompasses occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee benefit plans, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which directly involve external fixation device revision or orthopedic surgical implants.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services (proposals due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's nonexclusive, multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The Collier County Board of County Commissioners also posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. The code shows no recent opportunities directly tied to orthopedic device procurement, revision procedures, or surgical implant supply—suggesting either inconsistent UNSPSC tagging in state and local systems or minimal procurement activity under this specific commodity classification in the current period.
