This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage 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 0TPB00Z

UNSPSC 85731474 Removal of drainage device from bladder, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification by state and local jurisdictions span medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health examinations, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve urological device removal. The mismatch between the code's clinical descriptor and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that this code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems to encompass broader medical services contracting. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach).

Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Recent representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum), and Santa Clara County Health System's ongoing qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The frequency and scope of non-procedure-specific medical contracting under this code suggests that state and local procurement offices have expanded the classification beyond its clinical definition to capture allied health services, administration, and staffing—a signal that vendors pursuing medical services work should treat this code as a catch-all category requiring careful review of individual solicitation scope rather than relying on the code name alone.
