UNSPSC 85472903: Destruction of spinal meninges, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of spinal meninges, percutaneous endoscopic 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 005T4ZZ

UNSPSC 85472903 Destruction of spinal meninges, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal direct alignment with state and local government procurement activity. The code's clinical procedure description does not match the scope of recent opportunities posted under this classification. State and local buyers are soliciting medical evaluation and staffing services—disability medical record review, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, and temporary clinical staffing—none of which involve spinal surgical procedures or percutaneous endoscopic approaches. The mismatch suggests either a data-tagging error in the posting system or that this code has been applied inconsistently to administrative health services rather than the specific surgical intervention its name describes.

Recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies including city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' procurement divisions across Arizona, Washington, Florida, California, and Texas. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, while the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 Washington ferry system locations (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million, and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 service categories (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The disconnect between the code's stated scope and the actual work being procured suggests this code is not a reliable vehicle for tracking relevant state and local health-services opportunities.
