UNSPSC 85732302: Excision of left ureter, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left 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 0TB78ZZ

UNSPSC 85732302 Excision of left ureter, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity-level code whose nominal name refers to a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract activity posted under this code shows no procurement aligned with that clinical scope. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code encompass independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical procedure networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for youth in custody — none of which relate to urological surgery. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited indicates that this code experiences little relevant state and local procurement activity. Issuing bodies posting under this code include municipal retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county health benefit authorities, and county juvenile justice departments; the work typically involves administrative medical services, health benefits management, and occupational safety compliance rather than surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of recent postings spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no discernible concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) focused on disability benefit determinations for public safety retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for a qualified vendor pool providing temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's tagging to medical-administrative and occupational-health work rather than surgical procedures suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this commodity classification is rarely used in state and local solicitations. Vendors pursuing work under this code should confirm with issuing bodies that their surgical-procedure expertise aligns with the stated UNSPSC definition before investing in proposal development.
