This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of spinal canal with drainage device, 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 009U00Z

UNSPSC 85471846 Drainage of spinal canal with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the code's nominal scope of spinal surgical procedures; instead, they span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems have applied this code inconsistently or to administrative and clinical staffing services rather than to the specific spinal drainage devices or surgical procedures the code describes. None of the posted solicitations request spinal drainage devices, surgical implants, or operative procedures matching the code's taxonomy.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County), county human resources and benefits functions (Collier County), and large regional health systems (Santa Clara County). Geographically, recent activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representatives of recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code does not show active procurement of the spinal surgical devices or procedures its nomenclature suggests, warranting careful review of actual opportunity scope before pursuing pursuit under this classification.
