UNSPSC 85717031: Drainage of cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cervical vertebral joint, 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 0R914ZZ

The UNSPSC code 85717031, Drainage of cervical vertebral joint, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect surgical procedures. Instead, the code shows little relevant recent activity — the tagged opportunities span medical evaluation services, surgical benefit program administration, occupational health surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing, none of which align with the code's nominal scope of a specific orthopedic surgical procedure. The mismatch between the code's technical definition and the work actually being solicited suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or drift in how jurisdictions apply this Commodity designation to broader healthcare procurement.

Across the six records, issuing bodies include a city pension office (City of Phoenix), a city employee benefits office (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years) focused on disability medical record review and examination scheduling for pension applicants; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, board-certified occupational medicine required); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026, no guaranteed volume). The code activity does not reflect procedural healthcare purchasing but rather healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit program services — a significant divergence from the code's procedural nomenclature.
