UNSPSC 85752542: Occlusion of left spermatic cord, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to occlusion of left spermatic cord, percutaneous 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 0VLG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85752542 Occlusion of left spermatic cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little relevant activity aligned with that scope. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all tag for medical evaluation, health plan administration, occupational health surveillance, and staffing services — work that falls outside the narrow surgical procedure named in the code. State and local governments are not currently soliciting vasectomy or spermatic cord occlusion procedures under this code. The issuing bodies posting opportunities tagged with this code span diverse jurisdictions: a municipal retirement board (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits office (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county human resources division (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). None of these opportunities involve the specific procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, reflecting scattered state and local healthcare and benefits procurement across the country. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties (due October 7, 2026, structured as a non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume). The code's mismatch with the work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the UNSPSC taxonomy in a way disconnected from the procedure names embedded in the codes themselves.
