UNSPSC 85731139 Removal of drainage device from urethra, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually procuring under this code. Recent opportunities tagged with this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs, and specialty medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with urological device removal procedures. The code appears to be a medical procedures taxonomy entry that state and local procurement systems are misapplying to general healthcare administration, contracting, and occupational health work.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, issued by city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation departments. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (response due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties (response due October 7, 2026). This code shows no meaningful connection to its nominal scope and presents minimal relevance for vendors focused on urological device removal or related endoscopic procedures.
