This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device 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 0QWG05Z

UNSPSC 85703019 Revision of external fixation device in right tibia, open approach is a Commodity code assigned to healthcare administration and facility contracting in state and local procurement, but the code shows minimal alignment with the recent solicitations tagged under it. The recent opportunities involve inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve orthopedic surgical devices or external fixation procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic code-tagging misalignment in the source data or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement more broadly, rather than for the specific surgical hardware the code nominally describes.

State and local health and corrections agencies—including county corrections departments, county human resources divisions managing employee health plans, county boards of commissioners, and municipal fire departments—are the primary issuing bodies. Recent activity spans Georgia (Muscogee County), Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with contract values ranging from $580,000 total over three years for peer support services to approximately $8.7 million annually for pharmacy benefit management. Representative opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services effective October 1, 2026 (due April 16, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its nominal scope; business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies before investing pursuit resources under this code.
