This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of artificial sphincter into urethra, external approach. 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 0THDXLZ

UNSPSC 85731345 Insertion of artificial sphincter into urethra, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code title describes a specific urological surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs for municipal employees, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve urethral sphincter insertion or related urology services. This mismatch suggests the code may have been applied in error by issuing bodies or that the procurement system has categorized broadly health-related services under a narrowly defined surgical commodity code.

The issuing bodies represented in the recent posting block include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation, serving the Washington State Ferries), county governments (Collier County, Florida; Harris County, Texas; Santa Clara County, California), cities (Phoenix, Arizona; Long Beach, California), with activity distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; WSDOT's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington Ferries locations (due October 9, 2026); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million. Given the absence of recent opportunities genuinely procuring urological surgical procedures or devices under this code, the code appears dormant for state and local purchasing in this reporting period.
