UNSPSC 85732636 Release left ureter, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure for ureter release. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code, however, show a marked mismatch between the code's medical-procedure nomenclature and the work actually being solicited. The opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare — none of which align with the specific surgical procedure the code names. State and local procurement offices are issuing opportunities across multiple issuing-body types, including city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county health systems (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors specializing in the actual surgical service named in the code itself.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County, Collier County), Florida (Collier County), and Washington State (WSDOT ferries). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's taxonomy placement does not reflect current state and local buying patterns, and vendors seeking work aligned with the surgical procedure described should verify the actual commodity code under which opportunities are posted before pursuing opportunities tagged under this Commodity.
