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 0QUH0JZ

UNSPSC 85703058 Supplement left tibia with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevant activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with its medical-device surgical scope. Instead, the issuing bodies have solicited comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic prosthetic implants or surgical procedures for tibia replacement. The code's taxonomy designation for a specific surgical implant does not match the healthcare administration, care coordination, and vendor management services that dominate the recent solicitations.

State and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and fundamentally misaligned with its clinical scope. The Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County, Georgia) sought comprehensive inmate medical services including chronic care management and emergency referrals via RFP No. 26-0008, due May 15, 2026; Collier County, Florida issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents; Monroe County, Florida solicited virtual primary care and 24/7 urgent care services via RFP; San Mateo County, California issued an RFP for peer support services for behavioral health workers; and Santa Monica, California sought a fire department medical director. No recent opportunities involve procurement of surgical implants, orthopedic devices, or related medical supplies. The code appears to be incorrectly tagged for healthcare service contracts rather than medical devices, signaling either a classification error or a fundamental mismatch between the code's intended scope and actual state and local buying patterns for this device category.
