UNSPSC 85732215: Occlusion of left ureter, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left ureter, 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 0TL77ZZ

UNSPSC 85732215 Occlusion of left ureter, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that sits at the bottom of a medical-procedure taxonomy, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code bear no meaningful relationship to ureteral occlusion or any single surgical procedure. The code shows substantial activity misalignment — state and local entities have tagged occupational medical surveillance services, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out network administration, and emergency youth detention healthcare under this narrow commodity designation. The work actually being solicited spans occupational health compliance, benefit administration, claims processing, and clinical staffing — activities that fall outside ureteral intervention entirely. This mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a code definition that has drifted from its nominal scope in state and local procurement systems.

The recent opportunities originate from a mix of state health agencies, counties, cities, and special-purpose health systems across California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Arizona. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out benefit program RFP (due October 7, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026 — notably dated in the past), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated scope and what is actually being purchased, business development professionals should treat this code as having low predictive value for procurement opportunity targeting and instead track opportunities by their functional activity — occupational health compliance, medical evaluation services, benefit administration, and clinical staffing — rather than by this commodity designation.
