This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from cervical vertebral disc, open approach.

UNSPSC 85715684 Removal of drainage device from cervical vertebral disc, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, yet recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary clinical staffing placement, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, and emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve removal of drainage devices from cervical vertebral discs or orthopedic surgical procedures generally. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding or that the code has been repurposed in the taxonomy to cover medical administration and staffing services rather than the specific surgical intervention its name denotes.

The recent opportunities do not support a meaningful pursue recommendation under this code as named. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations—medical record review and psychiatric examination coordination, not surgery. The Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeks occupational medical surveillance by board-certified occupational physicians across 14 ferry system locations. The City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is procuring Centers of Excellence carve-out networks for bundled payment models covering knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures on a voluntary basis—network design and steerage, not surgical execution. The County of Santa Clara Health System (RFSQ HHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (audiology, radiology, sterile processing, therapy services) across 13 categories, explicitly excluding nursing and physician staffing. Collier County (RFP 25-8414) is procuring pharmacy benefit management administration covering 2,400 employees. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026) is gathering information from hospital and specialty medical providers on emergency and inpatient services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve the surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with the issuing body before investing pursuit effort.
