UNSPSC 85731100: Lower urinary system-bladder urethra, natural or artificial opening-part B

This class includes one or more of 24 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the lower urinary system-bladder and urethra, via natural or artificial opening. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0T.

UNSPSC 85731100 Lower urinary system-bladder urethra, natural or artificial opening-part B is a Class code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The recent opportunities posted against this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefits carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. None of these activities involve lower urinary system devices, prosthetics, or related medical goods or services as the code's nominal scope suggests. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that this code has been repurposed to encompass broader occupational and employee health services within state and local government procurement systems.

The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, county health systems, state departments of transportation, city retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code shows no clear or consistent relationship to its stated commodity category, making it unsuitable as a reliable signal for procurement strategy or market positioning in the lower urinary system medical device space.
