UNSPSC 85471865: Removal of drainage device from spinal canal, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from spinal canal, 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 00PU00Z

UNSPSC 85471865 Removal of drainage device from spinal canal, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its stated clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect spinal surgical procedures but instead cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention medical services—none of which involve removal of drainage devices from the spinal canal. The code appears to have been applied to general health services and benefits administration solicitations rather than the orthopedic or neurosurgical specialty procedures the code nominally describes.

Activity appears scattered across state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems. The Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries) posted a baseline and periodic occupational medical examination RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent disability medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out benefit program covering knee, hip, spine, heart, and oncology procedures through Centers of Excellence (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026); and Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services (RFP 25-8414, proposal deadline April 9, 2026—a date that has passed). Geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited under it, this code does not represent a reliable signal for pursuing spinal drainage device removal procurement in state and local markets.
