UNSPSC 85741206: Resection of left ovary, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of left ovary, 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 0UT17ZZ

UNSPSC 85741206 Resection of left ovary, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the available source material. The code describes a surgical procedure—specifically the removal of an ovary through a natural or artificial opening—yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing qualification pools, surgical benefit carve-outs for Centers of Excellence, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. These opportunities involve the administration, coordination, and management of medical services and benefits rather than the performance of the specific procedure the code nominates.

The mismatch suggests either a systematic code-assignment error by the issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a placeholder or catch-all tag for broad healthcare service procurements that fall outside the code's intended scope. The recent solicitations—from the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical benefit program management), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty care), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (clinical staffing qualification pool)—reflect state and local government's demand for healthcare administration, vendor network management, staffing coordination, and occupational health compliance services, not surgical procedures. Absent evidence of recent state and local RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs actually soliciting the performance of ovarian resection procedures, this code shows no relevant procurement activity in the current state and local market.
