UNSPSC 85732913: Bypass left ureter to colocutaneous with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left ureter to colocutaneous with nonautologous tissue 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 0T170K9

UNSPSC 85732913 Bypass left ureter to colocutaneous with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical care-center-of-excellence programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve urologic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a structural disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices apply it to health services contracting.

Recent activity shows the code sees use by city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, and county commissioners' offices across Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with cost weighted at 40 percent of scoring), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive, multiple-award). The code shows no coherent commodity focus and should not be pursued as a targeted procurement segment until issuing bodies realign their coding practices with the actual scope of work being solicited.
