This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic 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 0QWG0JZ

UNSPSC 85703017 Revision of synthetic substitute in right tibia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific orthopedic surgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve revision of synthetic tibial substitutes or any surgical procedures in the orthopedic sense. Instead, issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions are soliciting medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care navigation through Centers of Excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which constitutes the surgical intervention the code nominally describes. This systematic mismatch suggests the code may be assigned incorrectly in source systems or used as a placeholder when more precise UNSPSC alignment is unavailable.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), county health systems (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), city employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Recent opportunities posted between late July and mid-September 2026 include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity clusters in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear dominant region. Given the substantive gap between the code's surgical procedure title and actual procurement scope, this code does not represent a useful market segment for vendors in orthopedic medical device or surgical services.
