UNSPSC 85753502: Removal of synthetic substitute from epididymis and spermatic cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute from epididymis and spermatic cord, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0VPM4JZ

UNSPSC 85753502 Removal of synthetic substitute from epididymis and spermatic cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The six most recently posted state and local opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), disability medical evaluations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). None of these solicitations concern urological surgical procedures, synthetic implant removal, or endoscopic approaches to spermatic cord conditions; the code appears to have been misapplied across multiple jurisdictions to general healthcare procurement activity that bears no relationship to the code's clinical definition.

The misclassification spans multiple issuing bodies—state health authorities, county health systems, county human resources departments, and juvenile justice agencies across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington—suggesting either systemic miscoding in state and local procurement databases or a data-quality issue in how these opportunities were indexed. Practitioners should treat this code as inactive for actual procurement purposes and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any healthcare-related opportunity that appears under this number before pursuing it.
