UNSPSC 85742243: Destruction of uterus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of uterus, 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 0U590ZZ

This UNSPSC Commodity code—85742243 Destruction of uterus, open approach—describes a specific surgical procedure typically performed in hospital or surgical center settings. However, state and local government procurement under this code does not align with its clinical definition. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and actual purchasing activity: the available records show solicitations for inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management administration, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services, and fire department medical director oversight—none of which involve hysterectomy procedures or surgical destruction of the uterus. This code shows little relevant recent procurement activity when measured against its stated scope.

The geographic spread and issuing-body pattern in the tagged opportunities span Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government), California (San Mateo County), and California municipalities (Santa Monica Fire Department), but these records document healthcare management and professional services contracting rather than surgical procedures. The absence of solicitations directly aligned with surgical supply, operating room equipment, or gynecological procedure acquisition suggests either inconsistent coding at the point of posting or that state and local bodies do not routinely tag surgical procedures to commodity-level UNSPSC codes when they do procure them. Firms evaluating this code for business development should verify whether opportunities posting under 85742243 represent genuine surgical-procedure procurement or are administrative artifacts of broader healthcare services categorization.
