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

UNSPSC 85732164, Removal of synthetic substitute from kidney via natural or artificial opening, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The six state and local opportunities posted between July and September 2026 under this code instead solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, emergency and specialty inpatient services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve nephrology, dialysis access, or renal procedures. The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation, county health systems and departments, a city retirement office, and a municipality—a mix typical of state and local healthcare and benefits contracting—but their solicitations do not map to the code's stated purpose.

The geographic spread spans Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSF medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals) and Santa Clara County Health System (multi-category temporary staffing pool) represent the largest recent opportunities by scope, though neither involves synthetic kidney substitute removal. Collier County, Florida issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management (historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million, initial three-year term with two optional one-year renewals); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations ($750,000 over five years, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited surgical procedure carve-out benefits (approximately 3,800 active members, go-live targeted April 1, 2027); and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for hospital-based emergency and specialty services for detained youth. The mismatch between code name and actual work solicited suggests either a categorization error in the source data or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the services it nominally describes.
