UNSPSC 85733021: Bypass right ureter to colocutaneous with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right ureter to colocutaneous 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 0T160J9

The UNSPSC code 85733021 Bypass right ureter to colocutaneous with synthetic substitute, open approach (Commodity) shows a significant disconnect between its nominal scope—a highly specific surgical procedure code—and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. Recent opportunities bearing this code encompass independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care center of excellence networks, and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve urological bypass procedures or related surgical implants. State and local issuers posting opportunities under this code include city retirement offices, county human resources divisions, state transportation departments, county juvenile probation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' boards. The geographic spread spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (statewide ferries operations), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County).

Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for 75 annual public safety personnel applications, with a five-year contract ceiling of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminals with physicians board-certified in occupational medicine; the City of Long Beach's RFP HR26753 (due October 7, 2026) for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation RFSQHHSFY270052 (due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows no alignment with urology or implant surgery procurement, suggesting either a systematic tagging error in the source systems or use of this commodity code as a catch-all category for health services that does not reflect its intended scope.
