This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of uterus, via natural or artificial opening.

UNSPSC 85741978 Destruction of uterus, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six opportunities sourced—spanning medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, Centers of Excellence for surgical carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—concern the administration, logistics, coordination, and contracting for medical services rather than the performance of the procedure itself. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring this specific procedure code as a direct service line; the opportunities suggest the code has been misapplied or used as a catch-all tag for medical service contracting activity that does not match the code's scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent block include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits programs (Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Because the code itself does not reflect the actual work being solicited, pursuing opportunities requires close attention to the specific issuing body's RFP language rather than reliance on the UNSPSC classification.
