This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cervicothoracic vertebral disc with drainage device, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85716526 Drainage of cervicothoracic vertebral disc with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose abstract medical procedure name does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect healthcare administration and staffing services—including independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out program management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—rather than a specific surgical procedure. The issuing bodies are state health systems, county retirement offices, county departments of transportation, county probation departments, and county commissioners' offices across multiple states. No procurement activity directly matching the code's nominal scope appears in the recent opportunities block.

The geographic spread of activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board) due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (initial three-year term effective January 1, 2026, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million). The mismatch between the UNSPSC code designation and actual procurement scope suggests this code may be incorrectly tagged in state and local systems or reflects data quality issues in the source material.
