This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right ureter to colocutaneous, open approach.

UNSPSC 85733005 Bypass right ureter to colocutaneous, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six most recent solicitations posted under this code—spanning August through September 2026—procure independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve urological bypass surgery or any surgical procedure matching the code's nominal scope. The mismatch suggests either a data-labeling error at the source or a significant divergence between the code's taxonomy definition and how state and local procurement offices are using it in practice.

The recent opportunities instead reflect a pattern of state and local agencies seeking healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit-management services rather than surgical procedures. Issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (medical evaluations for disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out administration), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention medical services), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing). With no recent opportunities reflecting the code's stated surgical procedure scope, this code presents minimal relevance to business development professionals pursuing state and local health-services contracts.
