UNSPSC 85742144: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from uterus and cervix, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from uterus and cervix, open 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 0UPD0KZ

UNSPSC 85742144 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from uterus and cervix, open approach is a Commodity code describing a surgical procedure that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code — independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — address administration, coordination, and delivery of healthcare services across multiple clinical domains, not a specific gynecological surgical procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the narrowly defined procedure its name describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or a data artifact in how opportunities are tagged to the taxonomy. No state or local government appears to be procuring removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from the uterus and cervix as a standalone line item or service category. The opportunities instead reflect broader healthcare management, staffing, and benefits administration that issuing bodies — including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and County of Santa Clara — are pursuing across multiple jurisdictions. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes and flag the category for reclassification review.
