UNSPSC 85692643: Drainage of thoracic vertebra, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of thoracic vertebra, open 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 0P940ZZ

UNSPSC 85692643 Drainage of thoracic vertebra, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the five most recent opportunities posted under this classification—inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical director services—represent administrative healthcare contracting, mental health services delivery, and physician engagement rather than surgical drainage procedures or any related orthopedic or thoracic interventions. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or opportunistic tagging of healthcare services under a medical procedure code.

The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida; Santa Monica, California), a county health department (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire services. Geographic activity is scattered across Florida, Georgia, and California with no concentration in a single jurisdiction or region. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (posted April 9, 2026, historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million), and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code exhibits no coherent procurement activity relevant to the surgical drainage procedure its nomenclature describes, and vendors pursuing orthopedic or thoracic surgical services should not rely on this code as an indicator of actual state and local buying patterns.
