This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from bladder, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic. 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 0TPB80Z

UNSPSC 85731158 Removal of drainage device from bladder, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract scope—a specific urological surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged under it, which instead represent a broad range of health and medical services procurement unrelated to endoscopic bladder device removal: independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve the procedure named in the code.

The misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity suggests this code is either rarely used by state and local buyers or has been applied inconsistently to opportunities for which it does not fit. The few records posted under the code come from diverse issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas, but the work being solicited under these opportunities does not match endoscopic urological procedures. A business development professional should verify whether this code is appropriate for their service line and consider whether opportunities of genuine relevance to bladder device removal procedures exist under a different UNSPSC classification.
