UNSPSC 85741211: Excision of bilateral ovaries, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 0UB27ZZ

UNSPSC 85741211 Excision of bilateral ovaries, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that designates a surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code do not involve surgical procurement or medical device supply. Instead, the opportunities reflect administrative health services, occupational medicine, and staffing—including independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit management and Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific gynecological surgical intervention) and the work actually being solicited suggests this code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its procedure-level definition. State and local buyers are using this code to tag health services broadly rather than surgical-procedure procurement.

The issuing bodies span a diverse set of jurisdictions: a city retirement board (City of Phoenix), a large municipality (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county government (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and West, with solicitations posted between July and September 2026. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, with a $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code does not align cleanly with state and local procurement activity under its formal scope; buyers treating it as a catch-all for healthcare services administration should verify code accuracy against their specific capability and qualification requirements.
