UNSPSC 85732817: Bypass bilateral ureters to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass bilateral ureters to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, 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 0T180JD

UNSPSC 85732817 Bypass bilateral ureters to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving urological bypass with synthetic material, yet the recent opportunities tagged under it—independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for government employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferries workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative health services, occupational health compliance, and workforce staffing that do not correspond to the procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span a diverse mix of jurisdictions including cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and independent health systems, soliciting services across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas.

The code demonstrates a substantial mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement activity. No recent solicitation requests surgical supplies, implants, or clinical procedures related to urological bypass surgery. Instead, state and local buyers are using the code tag for health plan administration, medical record review, occupational health screening, and temporary staffing—categories that belong in health benefit management or staffing codes rather than a surgical procedure commodity. This signal suggests either a sustained data-quality issue in the upstream tagging system or that the code has been repurposed in a way disconnected from its intended definition. A vendor pursuing work in surgical supplies, orthopedic implants, or urological devices would find no actionable recent opportunities under this code; conversely, firms offering health plan carve-out management, occupational medicine networks, or health professional staffing should verify they are correctly classified before responding to any notices tagged here.
