UNSPSC 85473308: Drainage of cervical spinal cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cervical 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 009W4ZZ

UNSPSC 85473308 Drainage of cervical spinal cord, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that state and local procurement systems have misaligned with actual purchasing activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve spinal procedures or endoscopic surgery; instead, they reflect broader healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, and employee health benefit management services. State and local governments are soliciting independent medical evaluation services, occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which fall within the code's nominal scope of a specific neurosurgical procedure.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block are a mix of state departments, counties, and cities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity appears in Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) covering occupational examinations across 14 ferry locations statewide, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026) offering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated medical procedure classification, suggesting either a systematic tagging error or that the code is inactive for state and local procurement at present.
