UNSPSC 85752257: Occlusion of bilateral vas deferens, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of bilateral vas deferens, 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 0VLQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85752257 Occlusion of bilateral vas deferens, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code bear no relationship to the code's surgical scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 solicit independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve vasectomy or urological surgery. This mismatch suggests either a data classification error within the issuing bodies' procurement systems or a wholesale misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work actually being bought. State and local procurement offices are sourcing genuine medical and health services, but this particular code does not appear to reflect the activity it nominally describes.

The issuing bodies across the six opportunities represent a mix of municipal retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city health and benefits departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara Health System), county human services (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county benefits consortia (Collier County). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with activity clustered in mid- to late 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluations due October 16, 2026 (contract value $750,000 over five years), the County of Santa Clara Health System RFP for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026. The code shows little to no recent activity genuinely aligned with its stated surgical procedure scope.
