UNSPSC 85732715: Drainage of bilateral ureters, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of bilateral ureters, 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 0T980ZZ

UNSPSC 85732715 Drainage of bilateral ureters, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal name reflects a surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under it bear no relation to urological surgery or any medical procedure directly. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope. Among six opportunities posted between July and September 2026, only one—a Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP—involves medical examinations at all, and that work encompasses baseline, periodic, and exit occupational health assessments for ferry workers, not urological drainage procedures. The remaining five opportunities span pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), health professional temporary staffing qualification pools (Santa Clara County Health System), surgical carve-out benefit programs (City of Long Beach), independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), and emergency medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). None aligns with the code's procedural title.

The mismatch between the UNSPSC code taxonomy and actual procurement activity under this code number signals either a data quality issue in the source or systematic miscoding by issuing bodies. State and local procurement offices soliciting general medical services, benefit administration, and occupational health surveillance appear to have tagged these opportunities under a surgical-procedure commodity code without substantive connection to urological drainage. Absent a pattern of actual urological-procedure procurement under 85732715, vendors evaluating whether to pursue opportunities flagged with this code should treat each opportunity's functional scope—occupational health, benefits administration, general medical staffing—as the true procurement intent and disregard the nominal code name.
