UNSPSC 85742829: Extirpation of matter from cul-de-sac, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from cul-de-sac, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0UCF8ZZ

UNSPSC 85742829 Extirpation of matter from cul-de-sac via natural or artificial opening endoscopic (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal code description and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged to it. The recent opportunities bearing this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the endoscopic procedures the code name implies. State and local procurement offices are using this code to classify a broad range of health services and benefits administration work that does not align with the code's stated clinical scope. The issuing bodies span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), indicating fragmented purchasing authority across health benefits, occupational health, and detention health services.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting 75 annual disability benefit applications under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a five-year contract maximum of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals statewide, requiring board certification in occupational medicine and on-site presence at multiple locations. The City of Long Beach solicited proposals (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for a surgical carve-out program offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. Given the code's misalignment with actual procurement activity, the apparent use of this Commodity code to classify health services contracting appears to be a data-quality issue rather than a reliable market signal; business development professionals should verify the actual work scope with each issuing body rather than relying on the code name.
