UNSPSC 85717030: Drainage of cervical vertebral disc with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cervical vertebral disc 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 0R9340Z

UNSPSC 85717030 Drainage of cervical vertebral disc with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida—are predominantly procurement of occupational health services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and independent medical evaluation services for pension and workers' compensation determinations rather than surgical procedures or implantable medical devices. The mismatch between the code's clinical name (a specific neurosurgical intervention) and the actual work being solicited suggests state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for medical service categories rather than for the procedure itself.

The issuing bodies include city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), municipal health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation for occupational surveillance across ferry operations), county procurement offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara Health System). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) supporting disability determinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) across 14 Washington ferry locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity clusters in Arizona, California, and Washington, with additional opportunistic postings in Texas and Florida. The code's actual state and local use does not align with cervical spine surgical device procurement and warrants reclassification or clarification during proposal scoping.
