UNSPSC 85732560: Reposition bilateral kidneys, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition bilateral kidneys, 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 0TS20ZZ

UNSPSC 85732560 Reposition bilateral kidneys, open approach is a Commodity-tier surgical procedure code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific operative technique for kidney repositioning—does not match the medical, administrative, and occupational health services actually being solicited by state and local bodies under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which are surgical kidney procedures or fall within operative urology. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), county benefits administration (Collier County), and county juvenile justice departments, reflecting a broad cross-jurisdictional base but one fundamentally divorced from the code's stated procedure.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration pattern suggesting a strategic market segment. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) serving approximately 75 annual disability applications at a five-year maximum of $750,000; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs (due October 7, 2026) covering Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026) across 14 ferry system locations. The code's tagging appears to be a data-quality issue rather than a meaningful signal of procurement intent in kidney surgery. Vendors pursuing work under this code should verify actual scope alignment at the RFP stage, as the code's nominal clinical meaning does not reflect the administrative and occupational health services state and local bodies are currently buying.
