This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right pleural cavity, external 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 0WW9XJZ

UNSPSC 85761721 Revision of synthetic substitute in right pleural cavity, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure involving pleural cavity revision — does not match the work actually being solicited under this code in state and local markets. Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the surgical procedure the code nominally describes, and the code itself appears to have been incorrectly applied to health-services management and staffing opportunities rather than to orthopedic or thoracic surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies span municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with recent activity concentrated in municipal employee benefits administration and occupational or occupational-health-related services. Without a clear alignment between the code's stated scope and the opportunities posted under it, the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing surgical device or implant work.
