UNSPSC 85742147: Removal of intraluminal device from uterus and cervix, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of intraluminal device 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 0UPD0DZ

UNSPSC 85742147 Removal of intraluminal device from uterus and cervix, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under this code designation. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance services, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these opportunities involve removal of intraluminal devices from the uterus and cervix or gynecological surgery procurement. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the source or that state and local procurement offices are using this code to classify broader medical services acquisition rather than the discrete procedural service the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies in the recent activity span state departments, county government, and municipal agencies across multiple states: Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical evaluations), City of Long Beach (surgical care networks), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Given the code's apparent misapplication, the pattern reflects how state and local procurement systems sometimes tag broad healthcare service procurement with clinical procedure codes rather than administrative or operational service codes. If your firm pursues state and local medical services contracts, monitor this code's actual usage rather than relying on its nominal definition; the real opportunities it now carries are healthcare staffing, occupational medicine, pharmacy administration, and medical evaluation services, not surgical procedures.
