UNSPSC 85692746 Drainage of cervical vertebra with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure taxonomy label and the state and local contract activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities bearing this code do not solicit drainage devices, surgical instruments, or any procedure-specific medical hardware; instead, they reflect a wide range of health services procurement — independent medical evaluation coordination, pharmacy benefit management administration, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit program management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. State and local governments do not appear to be using this code to acquire the specific orthopedic implant or surgical device its name describes.

The issuing bodies span county and state jurisdictions with health system, pension administration, and human services authority responsibilities: the City of Phoenix (pension boards), City of Long Beach (employee benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (youth detention health), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (employee pharmacy benefits), and County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary clinical staffing). Geographic activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Police Pension Board's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 (maximum $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for Centers of Excellence due October 7, 2026, the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, and Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. The code does not reflect procurement of the orthopedic procedure, device, or surgical implant its nomenclature suggests.
