UNSPSC 85733917: Bypass left ureter to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left ureter to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, 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 0T174JD

The UNSPSC Commodity code 85733917, "Bypass left ureter to cutaneous with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach," describes a specific surgical procedure rather than a procurement category for state and local governments. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect no coherent purchasing activity aligned with the code's procedural name. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve urological bypass procedures or their procurement.

The mismatch between the code's title and the actual solicitations signals that this code sees little relevant state and local procurement activity. The opportunities instead represent administrative and managed-care health services purchased by municipalities (Phoenix, Long Beach), counties (Harris, Collier, Santa Clara), state transit authorities (Washington State Ferries), and public health systems. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, but the code itself does not function as a meaningful taxonomy for these buys. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local purchasing purposes and monitor higher-level health services codes for the actual administrative, clinical staffing, and medical benefit work these jurisdictions are conducting.
