UNSPSC 85741203: Resection of bilateral ovaries, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of bilateral ovaries, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0UT27ZZ

UNSPSC 85741203 Resection of bilateral ovaries, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it do not involve gynecologic surgery or bilateral ovarectomy. Instead, state and local bodies are sourcing independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs — none of which align with the code's procedural scope. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or an errant code assignment by issuing procurement offices. No state or local government has posted a recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB specifically requesting gynecologic surgical services, perioperative care, or related clinical supplies under this code.

The opportunities appearing in the recent block span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners (Collier County). The dates and scope of these solicitations — from pharmacy administration to occupational medicine surveillance to temporary clinical staffing — confirm that the code's procedural definition and the work actually being procured are unrelated. A business development firm should not pursue this code based on surgical expertise or gynecologic service capability.
