UNSPSC 85733710: Excision of right ureter, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0TB64ZZ

UNSPSC 85733710 Excision of right ureter, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with the code's nominal medical-procedure scope. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, health plan benefit administration, pharmacy management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical networks—none of which involve urological surgical intervention. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its taxonomy designation and the work actually being solicited by state and local bodies. No state or local government opportunities in the source reflect procurement of urological surgery services or the specific percutaneous endoscopic procedure the code describes.

Given this mismatch, the code does not represent a viable procurement avenue for vendors in the urological surgery space. Issuers posting under this code—including the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, and Collier County—appear to be using it incorrectly to tag broader healthcare contracting activity. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC coding of target opportunities and confirm alignment with the goods or services their firms provide before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to this code.
