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 0YP9XJZ

UNSPSC 85782824 Removal of synthetic substitute from right lower extremity, external approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal procedural scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record summaries, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve prosthetic removal or orthopedic device procedures. The code appears to have been applied as a default or catch-all classification by issuing bodies pursuing broader health services procurement rather than reflecting actual demand for the specific clinical procedure the code nominally describes.

State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county boards of commissioners across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, multiple ancillary clinical categories), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferries system locations). Bidders should note that the code's classification does not reflect the work actually being procured, making traditional prosthetic or orthopedic implant vendors unlikely to identify relevant opportunities through this code alone.
