This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right lower extremity, 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 0YW9XKZ

UNSPSC 85782808 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in right lower extremity, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local government procurement activity evident in recent solicitations. The code's clinical descriptor—surgical revision of synthetic or biological tissue implants in the leg—does not match the scope of work being bought under this code designation by public bodies. Recent opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, Centers of Excellence surgical benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve tissue substitute implantation or orthopedic surgical revision. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error or that the code is used by state and local systems to capture a broader health administration and benefits category than its clinical name implies.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunity set include county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county human resources and benefits offices (Collier County, Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix). Geographic activity appears concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with representative opportunities including the Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards' medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 maximum over five years), the Long Beach surgical and medical procedure carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026, and the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026. No bidding patterns or market concentration are evident from the sample—each solicitation addresses distinct health administration functions rather than tissue substitute procurement or orthopedic surgical services.
