UNSPSC 85753339: Destruction of right epididymis, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of right epididymis, 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 0V5J3ZZ

UNSPSC 85753339 Destruction of right epididymis, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical procedure code and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve epididymis destruction or any procedure matching the code's clinical descriptor; instead, they reflect health benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which relate to the specific urological procedure the code names. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code span county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and municipal employee benefits programs, reflecting fragmentation across administrative and clinical functions. A city retirement office (Phoenix), state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county health system (Santa Clara County) appear in the recent pipeline alongside county procurement offices and municipal benefits administrators.

Geographic activity concentrates in Arizona, California, and Washington, with additional recent solicitations in Texas and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract cap and an October 16, 2026 response date; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 due date and a pre-bid meeting on August 31, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System issued an RFQ establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 response date. The code's assignment to these opportunities appears inconsistent with its specificity as a named surgical procedure, suggesting either a classification error in the procurement source data or a systematic tagging misalignment that renders the code unreliable for targeting state and local procurement activity in this domain.
