UNSPSC 85471009: Drainage of basal ganglia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of basal ganglia, 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 00980ZZ

UNSPSC 85471009 Drainage of basal ganglia, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six most recent opportunities posted under this UNSPSC code do not solicit drainage procedures or related neurosurgical services. Instead, the opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical carve-out benefit programs for government employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories excluding nursing and physicians (County of Santa Clara). The mismatch between the code's surgical procedure scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for legitimate medical services contracting.

No current opportunities exist for the procedure named in the code itself, and the opportunities listed under this UNSPSC do not support a business development strategy targeting drainage or neurosurgical procedure procurement at the state and local level.
