UNSPSC 85716529: Drainage of cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of 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 0R933ZZ

UNSPSC 85716529 Drainage of cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code. The recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code shows no alignment with its stated medical procedure scope. The opportunities listed—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, healthcare services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve administrative healthcare contracting, benefits management, and general medical staffing rather than any specific surgical procedure. The code appears to be a miscategorization in the state and local procurement databases, or the opportunities have been incorrectly tagged to this code. State and local governments do not appear to be soliciting drainage of cervical vertebral disc procedures under this code in current practice.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates ranging from September 25, 2026 through October 9, 2026. However, because none of these solicitations relate to the Commodity code's nominal scope, the geographic and issuing-body distribution reflects mislabeling rather than genuine procurement activity under UNSPSC 85716529. Vendors considering this code should verify the actual UNSPSC classification of their services before pursuing these opportunities, as the code label and actual solicitation content diverge fundamentally.
