UNSPSC 85731539: Drainage of bladder, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0T9B0ZZ

UNSPSC 85731539 Drainage of bladder, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the recent solicitation record. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six most recently posted state and local opportunities solicited under this code cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefits administration, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve bladder drainage or surgical procedures. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code as a catch-all classifier for health services administration and medical staffing rather than as a descriptor of specific surgical interventions.

Recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies and geographies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks independent medical evaluation services and disability medical record summarization for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The WSDOT Washington State Ferries RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) solicits occupational medical surveillance services including baseline and periodic examinations across 14 Washington locations for shipyard and vessel crew members. The City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) requests surgical carve-out benefits administration for orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees. The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope signals either consistent miscoding by state agencies or a taxonomy misapplication that warrants clarification before pursuit.
