This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from urethra, 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 0TPD73Z

UNSPSC 85731146 Removal of infusion device from urethra, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show little relevant connection to urological device removal; instead, they span independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve infusion device removal or direct clinical procedures aligned with the code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal procurement departments, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county commissioners' offices—a broad cross-section of government health and benefits administration.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities covers Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Because the code shows no recent activity that aligns with its stated clinical scope, this appears to be a misclassification issue rather than a genuine procurement category. Firms pursuing medical device, clinical procedure, or occupational health contracting should verify that their target opportunities are coded correctly before estimating pipeline activity under this Commodity code.
