UNSPSC 85715326: Revision of drainage device in thoracic vertebral joint, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in thoracic vertebral joint, external 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 0RW6X0Z

UNSPSC 85715326 (Revision of drainage device in thoracic vertebral joint, external approach) is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific orthopedic surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency youth detention medical services—none of which involve thoracic vertebral drainage device revision or procedure-specific surgical work. The mismatch suggests this code has been misapplied or is not in active use for its stated scope. Issuing bodies include state health systems (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, County of Santa Clara Health System), county health and retirement offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and city retirement and employee benefit programs (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). The work actually being solicited centers on administrative and support medical services—claims processing, occupational surveillance, staffing placement, and benefit administration—rather than surgical procedures or device revision.

Geographic activity appears scattered across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, offering $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, proposals due October 7, 2026. A business development professional should treat this code as inactive or misclassified for its stated orthopedic surgical scope and monitor whether the code becomes correctly mapped to its actual activity or remains a low-signal category.
