UNSPSC 85732905 Bypass left ureter to colocutaneous, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing pools, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve the urological procedure the code name suggests. This misalignment between code assignment and work scope indicates either a data-quality issue in how opportunities were tagged or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement. State and local governments are not currently soliciting under this code for the procedure it nominally describes.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies and geographies with no clear concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) solicited temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's stated procedure and the breadth and nature of opportunities actually posted, firms should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities tagged to this Commodity code.
