This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of thoracic 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 0R9640Z

UNSPSC 85717024 Drainage of thoracic vertebral joint with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure involving spinal drainage, yet the six recent opportunities tagged to this code solicit entirely different services: independent medical evaluation and disability benefits administration, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve orthopedic or neurosurgical procedures, medical devices, or drainage-related clinical services.

The mismatch reflects a classification error in the source data rather than active state and local procurement demand for the surgical procedure named in the code. State and local buyers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington posted these opportunities between July and September 2026, but the tagging appears to conflate administrative or clinical support services with the specific procedural code itself. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify the actual UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities, as the code's nominal scope does not align with what is actually being bought under this designation.
