UNSPSC 85742177: Occlusion of right fallopian tube with intraluminal device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of right fallopian tube with intraluminal device, 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 0UL50DZ

UNSPSC 85742177 Occlusion of right fallopian tube with intraluminal device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's clinical nomenclature — describing a specific surgical procedure for tubal occlusion — does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code solicit medical evaluation services, surgical benefit programs, occupational health surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve medical devices, surgical implants, or gynecological procedures that would logically fall within the code's stated scope.

The mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in how state and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities, or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health care procurement activity more broadly. Without evidence of actual device procurement or procedural-supply acquisition under this code, state and local buyers do not appear to be using UNSPSC 85742177 in a way that reflects its stated commodity. Firms evaluating this code for business development purposes should verify the accuracy of the classification with individual issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities, as the opportunities on record do not represent the product or service line the code nominally describes.
