UNSPSC 85732800: Upper urinary system-kidneys ureters, open approach-part D

This class includes one or more of 24 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the upper urinary system-kidneys and ureters, with open approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0T.

UNSPSC 85732800 Upper urinary system-kidneys ureters, open approach-part D is a Class code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code appears designed to classify surgical procedures on the upper urinary system, but the recent opportunities tagged to it do not align with this scope. Instead, the recent solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve urological surgery or upper urinary system procedures.

The mismatch between the code's clinical focus and the work actually being solicited under it suggests this code may be applied inconsistently or may be used as a catch-all for health services procurement by state and local agencies. Recent issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — a mix of municipal benefits offices, state transportation agencies, county health and juvenile justice authorities, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Without opportunities that directly reflect urological surgical procedures, pursuit under this code would require clarification of the actual scope of work being solicited before committing business development resources.
