UNSPSC 85717020: Drainage of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with drainage device, 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 0R9A40Z

UNSPSC 85717020 Drainage of thoracolumbar vertebral joint with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal clinical procedure scope. The code's taxonomy name describes a specific neurosurgical intervention, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for public safety disability retirements, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional staffing pools, and surgical procedure carve-out networks—none of which correspond to the vertebral joint drainage procedure the code nominally describes. This appears to be a classification mismatch rather than a signal of active procurement in the procedure category itself.

The six recent opportunities sourced under the code originate from issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, including city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county commissioners' boards. The closest match to medical service procurement appears in the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (due October 7, 2026). However, none of these solicitations address spinal procedures or vertebral interventions. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any opportunities of interest rather than rely on the code assignment shown here; the mismatch between code definition and actual buying activity renders this code unreliable for targeted pursuit in state and local procurement.
