UNSPSC 85471018: Drainage of medulla oblongata with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of medulla oblongata 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 009D00Z

UNSPSC 85471018 Drainage of medulla oblongata 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 — spanning Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation services, Long Beach surgical benefit management, Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance, Harris County juvenile probation emergency medical services, Collier County pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara County health professional staffing — involve occupational health programs, retirement benefit administration, pharmacy claims processing, and temporary clinical staffing rather than the surgical drainage procedures the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests the code tag does not reflect the actual work being purchased.

The absence of genuine drainage-procedure solicitations in the dataset indicates this surgical service line either sees minimal state and local demand or is routinely miscoded in issuing bodies' procurement systems. Business development professionals should verify current-year solicitations directly through state health department, county hospital, and municipal medical center procurement channels before committing resources to this code.
