UNSPSC 85731444: Replacement of urethra with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of urethra with nonautologous tissue substitute, open 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 0TRD0KZ

UNSPSC 85731444 Replacement of urethra with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedural name and recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The three opportunities posted since late July 2026 are unrelated to urethral reconstruction surgery; instead they span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, and temporary health professional staffing placement across multiple ancillary clinical specialties. The code's nominal scope — a specific surgical procedure — does not align with the administrative, occupational health, and staffing services state and local governments are actually buying under this code designation. This suggests either a cataloging misclassification within the source system or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for health services procurement outside traditional clinical-procedure definitions.

The recent activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, independent medical evaluation RFP 26001 due October 16, 2026), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation medical surveillance RFP 20260825 due October 9, 2026), California (County of Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing RFSQHHSFY270052 due October 7, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department specialty services RFI 071626BNM due September 25, 2026). Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, county health systems, county probation authorities, and municipal pension boards. The Phoenix and Santa Clara opportunities show substantive scope detail and defined evaluation criteria; the Harris County RFI remains exploratory with no contract value or term specified. This code shows little relevant procurement activity and warrants monitoring only if your firm operates in occupational health services, medical record summarization, or health professional staffing placement — not urethral surgical reconstruction.
