UNSPSC 85717032: Drainage of cervical 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 cervical 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 0R9140Z

UNSPSC 85717032 Drainage of cervical vertebral joint with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity — a surgical procedure on the cervical spine — does not match the scope of the recent opportunities tagged under it. The six most recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code solicit independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are tagging health services solicitations.

The recent opportunities do reveal purchasing patterns in occupational and population health administration across multiple jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations ($750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation solicits occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP due October 9, 2026); the City of Long Beach seeks a surgical benefit carve-out program for its Anthem PPO (RFP due October 7, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issues an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI due September 25, 2026); Collier County seeks pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 7,200 covered members with historical spend of $8.7 million annually (RFP due April 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (multiple categories, proposals due October 7, 2026). The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, cities, and regional health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Absent any meaningful recent activity tagged to the actual code name, this Commodity shows little relevance for vendors in the orthopedic surgical device or procedural space.
