UNSPSC 85753138: Extirpation of matter from left epididymis, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left epididymis, 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 0VCK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85753138 Extirpation of matter from left epididymis, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local public-sector procurement activity reflected in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure on male reproductive anatomy, but the six state and local solicitations posted since July 2026 are seeking occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management administration, specialty surgical networks for government employees, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span occupational health compliance, benefits administration, clinical staffing, and public-safety or correctional health delivery — none of which constitute extirpation of matter from a specific anatomical site. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying procurement records or a systematic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the issuing bodies' tagging practices.

Recent opportunities originate from diverse jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for physician-led examinations across 14 ferry locations, and the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years) to support disability pension determinations. No recent state or local contract opportunity under this code reflects the nominal surgical procedure the code describes.
