UNSPSC 85473110 Drainage of thoracic spinal cord, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad health and medical services procurement — independent medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-outs — rather than surgical procedures. The code shows no verifiable recent solicitations for the specific procedure named in the taxonomy.

The geographic spread includes Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies spanning city procurement offices, county human resources divisions, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county juvenile probation. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026, and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ to establish a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool due October 7, 2026. The code's application to medical administration and occupational health services rather than surgical intervention suggests a tagging or taxonomy mismatch — business development professionals should verify code accuracy before committing pursuit resources to solicitations under this designation.
