UNSPSC 85753231: Removal of extraluminal device from epididymis and spermatic cord, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of extraluminal device from epididymis and 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 0VPM3CZ

UNSPSC 85753231 Removal of extraluminal device from epididymis and spermatic cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its narrow clinical scope. The six recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are all medical and healthcare procurement work, but none involve removal of extraluminal devices from the epididymis or spermatic cord. Instead, the solicitations cover disability medical evaluations for public safety pension systems, surgical carve-out benefits for government employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, and temporary health professional staffing for a county health system. The issuing bodies span city and county retirement offices, municipal health systems, county human resources divisions, county juvenile probation departments, and state transportation agencies. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all tag for healthcare contracting rather than for this specific surgical procedure, suggesting either a data classification error in the state and local procurement systems or a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and how purchasing offices actually use it.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southwest and West, with opportunities from Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) are representative of larger-scope medical services work currently on the market, but neither falls within the code's stated procedural definition. Given the absence of actual epididymal or spermatic cord removal procurement in the recent record, the code warrants close review for reclassification or potential deprioritization in pursuit strategies.
