This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from ureter, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic.

UNSPSC 85732145 Removal of drainage device from ureter, via natural or artificial opening endoscopic is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code describes a specific urological procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve ureteral drainage device removal or endoscopic urological procedures. The mismatch suggests that either the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or that state and local procurement systems are using this Commodity code as a catch-all for medical services that do not fit cleanly into more granular UNSPSC categories.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipalities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, the County of Santa Clara Health System, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, and the City of Long Beach. Geographic activity includes Washington, Texas, Florida, California, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) focused on disability benefit determinations for public safety retirees; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's apparent misalignment with actual work being solicited, the code warrants close review before pursuit decisions are made.
