UNSPSC 85473305: Division of thoracic spinal cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of thoracic spinal cord, 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 008X4ZZ

UNSPSC 85473305 Division of thoracic spinal cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) is mismatched with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code involve medical benefit administration, occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve spinal cord surgical procedures. The solicitations cover independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy claims processing, and health professional temporary staffing, indicating the code is being applied to a broad administrative and clinical services portfolio rather than a specific surgical procedure. This mismatch suggests the code's recent activity does not reflect its nominal scope.

State and local issuers posting under this code include counties (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and health systems (Santa Clara Health System). Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record summary and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications with a five-year maximum contract compensation of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026) covering baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 Washington State Ferry locations; and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.
