UNSPSC 85733346: Removal of synthetic substitute from kidney, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from kidney, percutaneous 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 0TP53JZ

UNSPSC 85733346 Removal of synthetic substitute from kidney, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that exhibits a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure name and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this classification. The recent solicitations tagged to this code do not involve kidney procedures or percutaneous interventions; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for youth in detention. The code appears to be applied broadly—and incorrectly—to health-care-related procurement activity by issuing bodies, suggesting systematic miscoding or a taxonomy mapping error rather than a reflection of actual procurement demand for the specific clinical service the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments and consortia (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and special-purpose health systems (Santa Clara Health System). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record review services, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the Collier County Board of Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. Given the taxonomy mismatch, this code warrants verification against authoritative UNSPSC classifications before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
