This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from epididymis and spermatic cord, 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 0VPM70Z

UNSPSC 85752844 Removal of drainage device from epididymis and spermatic cord, via natural or artificial opening (Commodity) shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure code and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations posted under this code do not involve drainage-device removal or any urological procedures; instead, they encompass occupational medical surveillance, pension-system disability medical evaluations, surgical Center of Excellence network management, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing, and acute-care services for detained youth. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to health administration and healthcare staffing opportunities rather than to specific surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies in the recent record span county health systems (Santa Clara), county Human Resources departments (Collier), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), city pension boards (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), county probation departments (Harris County), and county health consortiums. Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026) with a $750,000 five-year contract ceiling, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026) across thirteen ancillary clinical categories. This code warrants careful review during opportunity qualification — the clinical classification does not reflect the business and staffing services actually being procured.
