UNSPSC 85732517: Revision of synthetic substitute in kidney, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of synthetic substitute in kidney, 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 0TW50JZ

UNSPSC 85732517 Revision of synthetic substitute in kidney, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its nominal medical-device scope and the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code's title references a specific surgical procedure — implantation or revision of an artificial kidney — yet the six recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve the procurement, implantation, or maintenance of synthetic kidney devices or related surgical supplies.

The mismatch appears systematic rather than isolated: the issuing bodies include a state transportation department, county health systems, a county board of commissioners, a municipal retirement office, and a county juvenile probation department — a mix typical of broad-scope health and social-services procurement rather than orthopedic or nephrological device supply. The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, but this distribution reflects the diversity of state and local healthcare and benefits administration, not concentration in kidney-transplant or dialysis-equipment purchasing. Given the absence of opportunities reflecting the code's stated scope and the consistent mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the work actually being solicited under it, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in the synthetic kidney device or transplant-surgery space.
