UNSPSC 85473208: Drainage of cervical spinal cord, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cervical spinal cord, percutaneous 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 009W3ZZ

UNSPSC 85473208 Drainage of cervical spinal cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical-procedure taxonomy label and the state and local opportunities currently posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged with this code do not request drainage procedures or spinal interventions; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical roles, surgical benefit carve-outs, independent disability medical evaluations, and emergency hospital services for youth in custody. The code's abstract procedural name does not reflect the scope of work state and local governments are actually buying, and the mismatch signals that this code sees little relevant recent procurement activity for the procedure it nominally describes.

Geographic activity and issuing-body diversity are scattered across the recent postings: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The notices span RFPs and RFQs with response dates from September through October 2026, but none of the underlying work — medical record summarization, PBM administration, occupational health surveillance, or temporary staffing — matches the spinal drainage procedure the code nominally describes. Firms evaluating this code should verify that actual procurement requirements align with their service lines before pursuing opportunities posted under it, as the taxonomy tag does not reliably indicate the work being solicited.
