UNSPSC 85751028: Removal of drainage device from prostate and seminal vesicles, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from prostate and seminal vesicles, via natural or artificial opening. 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 0VP470Z

UNSPSC 85751028 Removal of drainage device from prostate and seminal vesicles, via natural or artificial opening is a Commodity code that does not match the scope of recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a urological surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code include medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve urological drainage device removal or related procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors working in urology or surgical device services.

The mismatch suggests that the code has been misapplied to administrative and occupational health services rather than the clinical procedure its name describes. State and local procurement offices occasionally tag opportunities with codes that do not align with actual scope; buyers seeking temporary staffing, pharmacy administration, or medical evaluation services should not rely on this code for sourcing urological-procedure-related opportunities or device contracting under state and local procurement vehicles.
