UNSPSC 85731106: Resection of bladder, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to resection of bladder, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0TTB7ZZ

UNSPSC 85731106 Resection of bladder, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with direct procurement of bladder resection services. Instead, the opportunities being tagged to this code span medical evaluation services, surgical benefit management programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve procurement of the specific procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests the code is either being misapplied by issuing bodies or has drifted significantly from its nominal scope in state and local procurement practice. Across the six opportunities in the recent block, issuing bodies include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits program (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). The mix reflects municipal, county, and state agencies purchasing various health-related services and staffing rather than surgical procedures themselves.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara County), Washington (WSDOT), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) to support disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit management through Centers of Excellence (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026) covering knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026). The code shows little relevance to the actual work being solicited and may warrant review for correct code assignment.
