UNSPSC 85731518 Insertion of artificial sphincter into urethra, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve urological surgical implants or procedures; instead, they reflect mislabeling within state and local procurement systems where medical services, health benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing have been tagged with this code despite their divergence from the nominal commodity description. The actual work being solicited under this code in state and local markets involves independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs through Centers of Excellence networks, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories—none of which involves insertion of artificial urethral sphincters.

Issuing bodies include retirement boards (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), and county government procurement offices (Collier County). Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications for public safety personnel; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, pre-bid August 31, 2026) serving shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, multiple award, non-exclusive). Activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas; the code shows no concentration in any single state or jurisdiction type and reflects fragmented, low-volume state and local tagging rather than consistent procurement demand for the nominal commodity.
