UNSPSC 85731147: Removal of monitoring device from urethra, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring 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 0TPD72Z

UNSPSC 85731147 Removal of monitoring device from urethra, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity-tier code that shows no relevant recent activity among state and local procurement opportunities. The code nominally describes a specific urological procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under this code involve occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, employee health plan administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which align with urological device removal or the clinical procedure the code name denotes. The mismatch suggests either a systematic misclassification in the underlying procurement database or that the code is not actively used by state and local buyers for its intended scope.

State and local governments do procure medical services and healthcare administration at scale — the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested disability medical evaluation services, the City of Long Beach sought surgical benefit carve-out programs, and Santa Clara Health System established a temporary clinical staffing pool — but none of these activities correspond to the specific urological intervention this code describes. Pursuit of opportunities under this code is not recommended until the mismatch between the code's scope and actual state and local buying activity is clarified.
