UNSPSC 85731473: Removal of monitoring device from bladder, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from bladder, 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 0TPB02Z

UNSPSC 85731473 Removal of monitoring device from bladder, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve urological surgical procedures or medical device removal. Instead, the sourced solicitations span occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgery benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities fall within the scope of bladder monitoring device removal or related urological interventions. The code appears to have been applied to general healthcare procurement opportunities without regard to its specific clinical scope.

State and local issuing bodies using this code classification include county health systems, county boards of commissioners, state departments of transportation, city retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No pattern of repeat buyers or concentrated geographic activity emerges from the sourced opportunities. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical procedure and the actual healthcare services being solicited—spanning administrative medical evaluations, employee health benefits administration, occupational health screening, and youth detention healthcare—suggests either miscoding in the source data or a systemic application of this Commodity code to healthcare procurement categories for which it is not appropriately designated. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities posted under this classification.
