This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left 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 0TC70ZZ

UNSPSC 85732703, Extirpation of matter from left ureter, open approach, is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure occupational health and medical evaluation services for public safety personnel and municipal workforces—a significant mismatch between the code's nominal surgical-procedure title and the actual scope of solicitations tagged to it. Recent opportunities show that jurisdictions are using this code to solicit independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, surgical procedure carve-out programs for municipal health plans, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies span city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation services (Harris County), and municipal health systems (County of Santa Clara Health System, City of Long Beach). The code appears to serve a broad administrative and occupational health function rather than the specific urological procedure its title suggests.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and West Coast. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel under the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with physician board-certification in occupational medicine as a core requirement; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. Activity also appears in California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out program, RFP due October 7, 2026) and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, due September 25, 2026). The code sees regular activity across municipal benefits administration, occupational health programs, and specialty medical procurement, though the disconnect between the code title and actual buying patterns suggests this category is either miscoded by issuing bodies or repurposed beyond its original intent.
