This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in right lower extremity, 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 0YW90JZ

UNSPSC 85782909, Revision of synthetic substitute in right lower extremity, open approach, is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a fundamental mismatch between the code's medical-device scope and the work actually being solicited. The six opportunities in the source block do not involve orthopedic implants or prosthetic revisions; instead, they cover occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefits carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention medical services. None of these solicitations align with the procurement of medical devices or surgical supplies. The code shows little relevant recent activity for business developers pursuing actual medical-device or orthopedic-implant work within state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies across the source block are diverse—a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris County), city retirement and benefits offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), and a county juvenile probation department—but these entities are buying healthcare services, staffing, and benefit administration rather than the medical hardware the code nominally represents. Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Texas based on the opportunities posted, but the geographic signal carries limited weight given that the procurement activity itself does not substantiate ongoing demand for the commodity. Prospective vendors should treat this code as inactive for practical state and local business development purposes and verify any new opportunity against the actual scope of work before investing in pursuit.
