This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in ureter, 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 0TW900Z

UNSPSC 85732515 Revision of drainage device in ureter, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving urological device revision, yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve urological procedures or device revision. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by the issuing bodies or that the code's assignment does not reflect the actual services being purchased. State and local procurement offices — the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County — are using this code to tag administrative health services, network management, and staffing arrangements rather than surgical interventions.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation agency (Washington), multiple county departments (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris), and city retirement and human resources offices (Phoenix, Long Beach). Geographic spread spans California, Florida, Texas, Washington, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include the Phoenix Fire Pension Board's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Long Beach Health PPO surgical carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), and the Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive temporary health professional staffing qualification RFP (due October 7, 2026). Given the persistent disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, pursuit decisions should rest on whether your firm's capabilities align with the actual services being tagged — health plan administration, occupational health programs, and clinical staffing — rather than on the code's stated surgical procedure description.
