This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in left metatarsal, 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 0QWPXJZ

UNSPSC 85702502 Revision of synthetic substitute in left metatarsal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal orthopedic surgical-procedure scope and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The six opportunities in the dataset span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence networks, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve revision surgery on metatarsal prosthetics. State and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with this code despite their unrelated clinical and administrative content, indicating either persistent coding misclassification or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for health-related services contracts.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), two counties (Collier County in Florida and Harris County in Texas), two cities (Phoenix and Long Beach in Arizona and California respectively), and a regional health system (Santa Clara County Health System in California). The most mature recent solicitations are the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's surgery benefit carve-out program (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026, two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services contract (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two years with up to five optional one-year extensions). Because the code's nominal content — orthopedic surgical revision — does not align with any of these opportunities, pursuit under this code is not advisable without clarifying the correct code classification with the issuing body at pre-bid or Q&A stage.
