This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous 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 0RP330Z

UNSPSC 85716244 Removal of drainage device from cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical benefit administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency care for detained youth—none of which involve the neurological surgical procedure the code describes. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), and a municipal health system (City of Long Beach). This mix reflects general-purpose government procurement rather than a specialized surgical-procedure category.

The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no discernible concentration in any single jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, serving ferries personnel across 14 locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026, supporting public safety pension disability determinations at $750,000 over five years; and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026, seeking Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, spine, orthopedic, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated purpose; the mismatch suggests tagging error rather than active procurement demand for cervical drainage device removal services under this classification.
