This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of external fixation device in right ankle joint, 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 0SWF05Z

UNSPSC 85723013 Revision of external fixation device in right ankle joint, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it bear no meaningful connection to that scope. The six most recent state and local opportunities include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve external fixation devices or ankle joint procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source dataset or that this code is not currently active in state and local procurement practice.

No state and local jurisdictions are actively soliciting external fixation devices or related orthopedic hardware or services under this code based on the available opportunities. The City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara all appear in the recent posting queue, but their solicitations address employee benefits, medical staffing, and occupational health — not surgical device procurement. Business development professionals should not pursue opportunities tagged to this code without first verifying that the actual scope of work matches the code's definition.
