UNSPSC 85471111: Drainage of thalamus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of thalamus, percutaneous 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 00993ZZ

UNSPSC 85471111 Drainage of thalamus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a neurosurgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities posted under this classification are unrelated to the procedure itself — they span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and inpatient hospital services for detained youth. State and local procurement offices have tagged these solicitations to the code, but none involve thalamic drainage or percutaneous neurosurgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or use of the code as a catch-all container for medical services without procedure-specific application.

The opportunities that do appear under the code reflect broader health service procurement: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001) seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with a $750,000 five-year contract cap and proposal due October 16, 2026; Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP RFP20260825) requesting occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 and pre-bid conference August 31, 2026; the City of Long Beach (RFP HR26753) requesting surgical procedure carve-out services through Centers of Excellence for orthopedic, spine, cardiac, and oncology procedures with proposals due October 7, 2026; and Collier County (RFP 25-8414) procuring pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with an estimated $8.7 million annual historical spend and proposals due April 9, 2026. The code shows no specific relevance to medical device procurement, surgical intervention supply, or any procedural service aligned with its nominal scope. Firms pursuing state and local work under this code should expect general healthcare administration and staffing opportunities rather than specialized surgical services.
