This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right tibia, open 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 0QWG0KZ

UNSPSC 85703016 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right tibia, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical orthopedic procedure, but the recent contract notices tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefits carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which align with orthopedic tissue revision surgery. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the underlying opportunity database or a misalignment between how state and local procurement offices classify medical and health services contracts and the UNSPSC surgical-procedure taxonomy. State and local buyers appear to be using this code to tag a broad range of medical services administration and staffing work rather than actual surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of these opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, juvenile justice agencies, and county human resources divisions. Recent representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations with a response deadline of October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability benefit medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services with a response deadline of October 16, 2026 and total contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with a response deadline of October 7, 2026. The code shows no activity aligned with its stated orthopedic surgical scope and should not be used to segment actual surgical-procedure opportunities.
