UNSPSC 85471010 Drainage of thalamus with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension-system disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for juvenile detention facilities, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing services — none of which involve neurosurgical drainage procedures or implantable devices. The mismatch between the code's nominal medical-device scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding or that this Commodity code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the specialized procedures it names.

State and local buyers soliciting under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — spanning municipal, county, and state health and benefits administration rather than surgical or implant procurement. Recent opportunities cluster in Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington State, Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with response dates ranging from September 2026 through October 2026. The absence of any recent solicitation actually requesting neurosurgical devices, drainage systems, or related supplies indicates this code is inactive for its intended commodity line in the state and local market.
