This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from left epididymis, 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 0VCK4ZZ

UNSPSC 85753538 Extirpation of matter from left epididymis, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a surgical procedure code—and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect surgical intervention on specific anatomical structures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The issuing bodies include state health departments, county governments, municipal departments, and county health systems. None of these opportunities align with the code's stated procedure description, indicating either systematic tagging error within state and local procurement systems or a data-classification drift that has detached the code from its intended use.

The geographic spread across recent postings includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, is requesting proposals for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing services with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows no relevant recent activity when measured against its procedural definition, and pursuit decisions should prioritize code-level verification with issuing bodies before proposal development.
