This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left ureter to colon 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 0T174J8

UNSPSC 85733922 Bypass left ureter to colon with synthetic substitute, 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 procedure itself. Instead, the opportunities reflect health services procurement across occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), city human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). The code appears to serve as a catch-all taxonomy entry for diverse health services rather than a precise surgical-procedure classification, reflecting a common disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy and actual state and local procurement practice.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and service types. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical benefit carve-out management through Centers of Excellence with proposals due October 7, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026. Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending. The code shows no recent opportunities that match its nominal surgical-procedure scope, suggesting either miscoding at the source or that this code functions as a miscellaneous health services repository in state and local procurement systems.
