UNSPSC 85692743: Drainage of thoracic vertebra, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of thoracic vertebra, 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 0P943ZZ

UNSPSC 85692743 Drainage of thoracic vertebra, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical designation—a specific surgical procedure on the thoracic spine—does not match the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code number in current solicitations.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, specialty surgical carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and pediatric detention healthcare services. These represent administrative healthcare services, employee benefits procurement, and workforce staffing rather than the spinal surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include city pension boards (Phoenix), municipal health benefits offices (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county detention systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative current opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with an October 16, 2026 deadline and $750,000 maximum contract value over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 deadline; the City of Long Beach's RFP (HR26753) for surgical benefit carve-out programs with an October 7, 2026 deadline; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 deadline. The code's tagging appears inconsistent with procurement substance, signaling a classification mismatch rather than active demand for the thoracic spine procedure itself.
