This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of extraluminal device from urethra, 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 0TPD4CZ

UNSPSC 85731860 Removal of extraluminal device from urethra, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern urological device removal or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to health services and employee benefits procurement that bears no relationship to its stated clinical description. State and local buyers posting under this code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county human resources and benefits offices (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and county juvenile justice agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). This issuing-body mix reflects general government and public agency health benefits and occupational health administration rather than clinical procurement aligned with the code's urological focus.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with geographic concentration in larger metropolitan counties and cities. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations in Washington (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026); the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefits and Centers of Excellence carve-out management for its Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spend (258414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor qualification pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code's misalignment with actual procurement activity suggests either a systematic tagging error by multiple issuing bodies or a taxonomy mismatch that limits its utility for targeting urological device removal or endoscopic services work.
