UNSPSC 85471008: Drainage of basal ganglia with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of basal ganglia with drainage device, open 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 009800Z

UNSPSC 85471008 Drainage of basal ganglia with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The six posted opportunities in the recent state and local contract opportunities block span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management services for county employees, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories — none of which involve neurosurgical drainage procedures or implantable neurosurgical devices. The opportunities reflect procurement of medical administration, evaluation coordination, benefits management, occupational health compliance, and temporary clinical staffing, not surgical interventions or device procurement under the posted code.

State and local buyers pursuing these opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out benefits, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty and emergency medical services, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing pool, due October 7, 2026). The code does not appear to track actual neurosurgical procedure procurement at state and local levels; the mismatch between the code's clinical designation and the scope of recent solicitations suggests this code carries little relevance to current state and local buying patterns.
