This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right 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 0QWNX5Z

UNSPSC 85702509 Revision of external fixation device in right metatarsal, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — orthopedic surgical device revision procedures — does not align with the recent solicitations tagged under it in the source material. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 reflect purchases of occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency/inpatient medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic device implantation, revision, or removal procedures.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data quality issue in the source. State and local governments do procure orthopedic surgery services and device-related care through health plans, public employee benefits, county health systems, and detention facility medical programs, but the recent opportunities under this code do not reflect device revision work. The City of Santa Clara Health System's temporary staffing RFP (due October 7, 2026) includes Orthopedic Services as one eligible ancillary category, and the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026) covers orthopedic and spine procedures through Centers of Excellence, but neither directly addresses external fixation device revision. Absent properly coded solicitations in the source, the code presents minimal pursue signal for vendors focused on orthopedic implant, fixation device, or surgical procedure services.
