UNSPSC 85473210: Drainage of thoracic spinal cord, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of thoracic 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 009X3ZZ

UNSPSC 85473210 Drainage of thoracic spinal cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract definition describes a specific surgical technique for spinal cord drainage, yet the six opportunities posted since July 2026 span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency youth detention medical services—none involving thoracic spinal cord drainage procedures. This mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied to broader health services procurement, or the recent opportunities are incorrectly tagged.

Activity originates across a geographically dispersed mix of issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeks physician-supervised examinations across 14 ferry locations; the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (due October 16, 2026) pursues disability medical record summarization and independent medical evaluations for pension benefit determinations; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (originally due April 9, 2026) targets comprehensive PBM administration covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual spend around $8.7 million; and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing vehicle (due October 7, 2026) establishes a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physician services. No opportunities directly solicit thoracic spinal cord drainage procedures or related surgical implant or device services.
