UNSPSC 85732138: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from ureter, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from ureter, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0TP98KZ

UNSPSC 85732138 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from ureter, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a clinical urological procedure, yet the state and local contract opportunities tagged to it involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve ureter procedures or nonautologous tissue work. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being procured suggests either tagging error on the procurement side or that this code is not the appropriate classification for the health services state and local governments are currently buying.

The recent opportunities show activity across different issuing bodies—the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), the City of Phoenix (disability pension evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefits), Collier County (pharmacy management), Harris County (youth detention medical services), and Santa Clara County (temporary health staffing)—and span multiple states including Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. Given the absence of opportunities that directly match the code's ureter-procedure definition, vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for health services or clinical procedure categories before pursuing state and local work in this space.
