UNSPSC 85731148 Removal of drainage device from urethra, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this tag. Recent opportunities posted against this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical procedure management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve urological drainage-device removal or align with the code's nominal clinical scope. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and posted procurement activity suggests either systematic tagging error or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services that do not fit standard UNSPSC categories. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting mixed jurisdictional activity across health systems, pension boards, and human resources departments.

The recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services supporting ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, RFQ, due October 7, 2026, multiple-award, non-exclusive vehicle with no guaranteed volume). No current activity under this code meaningfully aligns with urological device removal or post-procedure management.
