UNSPSC 85734116: Bypass left kidney pelvis to colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left kidney pelvis to colon with nonautologous tissue 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 0T144K8

UNSPSC 85734116 Bypass left kidney pelvis to colon with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local procurement activity documented in recent solicitations. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, yet state and local government agencies are soliciting medical services and healthcare administration work that bear no relationship to this clinical intervention. Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing coordination, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these services involve urological surgical implants or tissue engineering. The code appears to be a data-entry or classification error in the source material rather than a genuine representation of state and local procurement taxonomy use.

No relevant state and local procurement activity exists under this Commodity code. The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—are all legitimate state and local buyers, but they have been tagged with a surgical procedure code when their actual work lies in benefits administration, occupational health programs, and temporary staffing. Vendors in medical services should verify the correct UNSPSC code classification before pursuing opportunities listed under this code; the mismatch suggests a labeling problem upstream of the procurement posting process.
