UNSPSC 85733420: Excision of left ureter, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of left ureter, 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 0TB73ZZ

UNSPSC 85733420 Excision of left ureter, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it do not align with the code's nominal scope of surgical urological procedures. The opportunities instead document healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care delivery, peer mental health support, and medical direction services — none of which involve urological surgery or percutaneous ureter excision. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state and local procurement system or that this code has been repurposed locally to span a broader healthcare service family than its UNSPSC definition implies.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across at least three states — Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government for Muscogee County Prison), and California (San Mateo County Health and Santa Monica Fire Department) — with no evident concentration in any single jurisdiction or agency type. Recent solicitations span county governments, special districts, and municipal fire departments. The representative opportunities include an RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), a pharmacy benefit management RFP from Collier County Board of County Commissioners (closed April 9, 2026), a virtual primary and urgent care services RFP from Monroe County (due April 16, 2026), and a fire department medical director RFP from Santa Monica (due October 16, 2025). Given the lack of alignment between the Commodity code definition and the actual work being bought, the code appears to have little relevance for vendors pursuing healthcare service contracts in the state and local space.
