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 0TBC3ZZ

UNSPSC 85731718 Excision of bladder neck, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. The recent opportunities posted against this code comprise independent medical evaluation services for public safety retirement disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing for hospital systems, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve urological surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical technique) bears no relationship to the services being procured.

The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding problem in state and local procurement systems or opportunistic reuse of an unused medical code for general health services procurement. Activity comes from Arizona public safety pension boards, Washington State ferries, California and Florida municipal health systems, and county detention authorities—a mix of state departments, counties, and special-purpose health districts. Without alignment between the code's stated content and actual purchasing patterns, this code presents no reliable procurement signal for firms targeting medical device, surgical equipment, or healthcare procedure revenue under UNSPSC 85731718.
