UNSPSC 85751121: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from prostate and seminal vesicles, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from prostate and seminal vesicles, 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 0VP40KZ

UNSPSC 85751121 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from prostate and seminal vesicles, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local contract opportunities. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical procedure for tissue removal; however, the six most recent opportunities posted under this classification involve occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, specialty surgical carve-out networks for employee benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations involve prostate or seminal vesicle procedures or tissue-substitute removal. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied to opportunities for administrative or broader healthcare procurement rather than the specific procedural service its name describes.

State and local procurement activity under this code spans diverse issuing bodies including county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. The breadth of these jurisdictions and the inconsistency between the code's clinical scope and the actual work being solicited indicate either misclassification in the source data or a coding convention that does not align the UNSPSC taxonomy to the medical procedures it nominally describes. Firms evaluating this code should verify the actual scope of work in any posted solicitation rather than relying on the code name alone.
