UNSPSC 85733017: Bypass right ureter to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right ureter 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 0T160JD

UNSPSC 85733017 Bypass right ureter to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded under it. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure involving ureter bypass with synthetic material — describes a medical device or implant used in a discrete operating-room intervention. Recent state and local opportunities posted under this code, however, solicit occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employee plans. None of these opportunities involve procurement of the device or procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a taxonomy classification error in the source data or a systematic miscoding of medical services opportunities under this implant-specific code. State and local buyers posting these opportunities — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System — are procuring administrative health services, staffing, and benefits management rather than the surgical implant or procedure encoded.

The code shows no recent activity that is actually purchasing or contracting for ureter bypass procedures or related synthetic substitutes. Firms evaluating this code for state and local opportunity should treat it as dormant or misclassified pending clarification from the source procurement systems. The opportunities currently tagged to this code do not reflect the device or procedure the Commodity code nominally identifies, and pursuing this code based on its name would not align with the work state and local agencies are actually buying.
