UNSPSC 85716718 Removal of drainage device from thoracic vertebral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with a nominal medical procedure description that bears little relationship to the state and local contracting activity currently tagged to it. Recent opportunities show no actual solicitations for the spinal surgical procedure the code names; instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical specialty networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. State and local procurement offices are using this code to classify a broad range of health services contracting, not the specific vertebral disc drainage procedure the taxonomy nominally describes.

Issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices (Collier County, Harris County), municipal retirement systems and benefits agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering shipyard workers and ferry crew at 14 regional locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026); Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across thirteen clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration evident from the recent record.
