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 0TCDXZZ

UNSPSC 85731351 Extirpation of matter from urethra, external approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific urological procedure—bears no meaningful connection to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for urological services or medical procedures matching the code's clinical definition. Instead, the code is being applied to a diverse set of health services solicitations including independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical disciplines. This mismatch signals either erroneous code assignment by issuing bodies or a substantial divergence between the code's intended scope and its practical application in state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies tagging work under this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Representative current opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026; $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (response due October 9, 2026; pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing (response due October 7, 2026; non-exclusive, multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed volume), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (response originally due April 9, 2026; approximately $8.7 million historical annual spend). Given the code's apparent misalignment with actual work being bought, treating this as a reliable procurement category is not recommended without verification of intent from the relevant issuing bodies.
