UNSPSC 85731226: Insertion of artificial sphincter into bladder, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of artificial sphincter into 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 0THB8LZ

UNSPSC 85731226 Insertion of artificial sphincter into bladder via natural or artificial opening endoscopic, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The code's abstract name describes a specific surgical intervention, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code procure administrative medical services, occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs — none of which involve artificial sphincter insertion or direct endoscopic procedures. This mismatch suggests either inconsistent code application by issuing bodies or a data-classification issue rather than active procurement demand under the code's stated commodity scope.

Recent activity spans multiple state and local issuing bodies across four states. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a $750,000 five-year maximum contract value. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a due date of October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Long Beach (California) solicited surgical benefit carve-out services with a due date of October 7, 2026. Collier County (Florida) issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services. The County of Santa Clara Health System (California) sought temporary health professional staffing. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth. The solicitations reflect administrative, occupational health, and benefits management work rather than the surgical procedure named in the code, indicating the code may not be the appropriate classification for current state and local medical-service procurement.
