UNSPSC 85732163: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from kidney, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from kidney, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0TP57KZ

UNSPSC 85732163 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from kidney, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity under this classification. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical removal of tissue substitutes or any kidney-related procedures; instead, they span occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and pediatric emergency healthcare services. State and local procurement offices are applying this code to medical administration, evaluation, and staffing services that lie outside its stated surgical scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code represent a diverse mix of jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the most concrete recent opportunities, but their scope—medical record summarization, independent medical examinations, and occupational surveillance—does not align with the code's stated surgical procedure. This code does not support a meaningful business development strategy for firms pursuing kidney tissue substitute removal services; the mismatch suggests either a taxonomy error in how opportunities have been tagged or a fundamental drift between code definition and current state and local procurement practice under this classification.
