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. 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 0THB7LZ

UNSPSC 85731230 Insertion of artificial sphincter into bladder, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific urological surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the insertion of artificial sphincters or related urological procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated definition.

The recent opportunities issued under this code reflect broader health services and benefits administration rather than the specialized surgical intervention the code nominally describes. Issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering 14 ferry system locations across Washington; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office disability medical evaluation RFP due October 16, 2026, for approximately 75 annual disability applications; and the Collier County Pharmacy Benefit Management RFP with historical spending of approximately $8.7 million annually. Geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, Florida, California, and Texas. The classification appears to reflect administrative or data-entry errors rather than a genuine market for the procedure described in the code's title.
