UNSPSC 85472023 Removal of drainage device from spinal canal, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific clinical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under or tagged to this code do not involve spinal drainage device removal or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit programs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve the targeted spinal procedure or its removal. This mismatch suggests the code is either incorrectly applied to these broader health services solicitations or sees limited state and local procurement activity relevant to its nominal scope.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical examination services due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFP for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington with no clear concentration in any single state or region. Given the divergence between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth and nature of recent solicitations, buyers should verify code assignment before committing pursuit effort to opportunities tagged under this Commodity.
