This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous endoscopic 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 0RP340Z

UNSPSC 85716744 Removal of drainage device from cervical vertebral disc, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension board disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span administrative healthcare management, occupational health compliance, benefits contracting, and staffing services rather than the performance or procurement of a defined spinal surgical intervention. The misalignment between the code's medical procedure name and the actual buying activity suggests either systematic coding error in the source data or an underlying classification issue within the jurisdiction's procurement taxonomy.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems and juvenile probation departments (Harris County, Santa Clara County), municipal benefits administration (Long Beach), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). No clear pattern of repeat procurement under this specific code emerges from the recent activity. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with opportunities posted between July and September 2026. Recent representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), Collier County RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management (due April 9, 2026), and Washington State Department of Transportation RFP RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026). Given the scope mismatch, pursuit decisions should validate whether this code correctly categorizes intended work or whether the source data contains classification errors before committing resources.
