UNSPSC 85733024: Bypass right ureter to right ureter with synthetic substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass right ureter to right ureter 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 0T160J6

UNSPSC 85733024 Bypass right ureter to right ureter with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure involving ureter reconstruction. However, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no procurement activity directly aligned with the surgical procedure itself. Instead, the opportunities reflect a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity: the six opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve urological surgical supplies or services. This suggests either a systematic coding error in how these opportunities were tagged or that the code is being used as a placeholder for broader healthcare procurement categories that do not align with its clinical definition.

The issuing bodies include state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), indicating that the code is being applied across multiple government jurisdiction types. Geographic activity spans Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. The opportunities with the most concrete scope — the Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), the Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) — all center on medical administration, benefit design, and surveillance rather than surgical procedure procurement. Given this code's lack of alignment with actual solicitation content, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing any opportunity posted under it.
