This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, 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 0R943ZZ

UNSPSC 85716527 Drainage of cervicothoracic vertebral joint, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code — medical record summarization and scheduling for disability retirement benefits, surgical benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not align with the code's nominal scope of a specific spinal surgical procedure. The code appears to have been misapplied or used as a default category across solicitations that are actually purchasing administrative medical services, healthcare benefit carve-outs, occupational health programs, and staffing solutions rather than drainage procedures for cervicothoracic vertebral joints.

State and local issuers using this code have included city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipalities (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (response due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (response due October 7, 2026). No meaningful procurement activity under this code's stated surgical scope is evident in the recent record.
