UNSPSC 85716213 Removal of drainage device from thoracolumbar vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific spine surgical procedure; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it are purchasing independent medical evaluation services, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgery carve-out programs, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities align with the procurement of drainage device removal procedures or related surgical supplies. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities, and state and local governments do not appear to be actively soliciting the specific service named in the code's technical descriptor.

No purchasing activity under this code's actual scope—drainage device removal from thoracolumbar vertebral joints via percutaneous approach—is evident in the recent state and local opportunities reviewed.
