UNSPSC 85473311 Drainage of lumbar spinal cord with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code — independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — bear no relationship to the specific medical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local agencies are not soliciting percutaneous endoscopic drainage devices or related equipment or supplies under this code; instead, the postings reflect broad healthcare service categories spanning medical examination administration, benefit plan management, occupational health compliance, and clinical staffing.

The issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health systems. Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, and Washington, with no clear concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for fire and police pension boards; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code assignment appears to be a data-entry error or misclassification rather than an accurate reflection of procurement intent.
