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 0R960ZZ

UNSPSC 85716023 Drainage of thoracic vertebral joint, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code do not align with surgical drainage services; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, and youth detention healthcare services. The mismatch between the code's clinical focus and the procurement activities tagged to it suggests either misclassification at the source or that this code does not currently reflect genuine state and local buying patterns for the procedure it names.

The six recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System, spanning Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. None of these solicitations target surgical drainage services. The Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the most substantive recent activity under this code identifier, but both concern medical evaluation and administrative services rather than surgical procedures. No recent opportunities solicit the work the code nominally describes.
