UNSPSC 85732508: Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in ureter, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in ureter, open approach. 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 0TW90KZ

UNSPSC 85732508 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in ureter, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal scope—surgical revision of synthetic ureter tissue—and the state and local opportunities recently posted under this code. The recent opportunities in the source material span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these procurement activities involve urological surgical implants or tissue-revision procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of solicitations or a fundamental disconnect between the taxonomy label and how this code is being applied in practice by purchasing offices.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County Health System), Washington (Department of Transportation Ferries), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation), and Florida (Collier County). Issuing bodies are county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county boards of commissioners. Because the opportunities do not reflect the code's stated surgical scope, pursuing vendors in wound care, urology, or synthetic biomaterials should treat this code as inactive for relevant state and local procurement activity at this time.
