UNSPSC 85715428: Removal of drainage device from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, 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 0RP5X0Z

UNSPSC 85715428, Removal of drainage device from cervicothoracic vertebral disc, external approach, is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific spinal surgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this classification do not align with that clinical scope. Instead, the tagged solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical specialty networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve removal of drainage devices from the cervicothoracic vertebral disc. The mismatch suggests that this code is either dormant for state and local procurement purposes or has been applied to opportunities without direct relevance to its procedural definition.

The handful of recent opportunities posted under this code span diverse issuing bodies including state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), with geographic activity in Arizona, Florida, California, Washington, and Texas. None of these solicitations target procurement of the specific drainage-device removal procedure the code nominally describes. Given the absence of solicitations that actually match the code's scope, the code does not present a viable pursuit vector for vendors in spine surgery device supply, surgical services, or related specialties.
