UNSPSC 85731850: Replacement of bladder with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of bladder with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0TRB4KZ

UNSPSC 85731850 Replacement of bladder with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six most-recent opportunities tagged under this Commodity code are independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical Center of Excellence carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve bladder replacement procedures or any surgical implant activities. The mismatch between the code's anatomical-procedure name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC classification and the nature of state and local government purchasing in this category. State and local buyers do not solicit surgical interventions directly; they purchase health plan administration, medical evaluation services, occupational health compliance support, and staffing augmentation for clinical settings. The code as currently applied does not reliably predict relevant opportunities for firms seeking to compete for health care procurement at the state and local level.

Based on recent activity, state and local governments use UNSPSC 85731850 — if appropriately applied — to classify health benefit and occupational health services solicitations rather than actual medical procedures. The issuing bodies span large cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and county health systems. Geographic presence includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services through October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026 and a response due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across thirteen clinical categories, with responses due October 7, 2026.
