This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of hypothalamus with drainage device, 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 009A30Z

UNSPSC 85471112 Drainage of hypothalamus with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not correspond to any recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code nominally describes a surgical neurological procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code solicit medical evaluation services, health plan benefits management, occupational health surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit administration, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve neurosurgical drainage procedures or implantable devices. The mismatch indicates either a systematic miscoding issue in the opportunities database or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy application and actual buying activity under this code.

The recent opportunities do reflect active state and local healthcare procurement across six issuers — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — with response dates spanning September through December 2026 and contract values ranging from approximately $750,000 over five years (Phoenix disability medical evaluations) to $8.7 million annually (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). However, none of these opportunities constitute relevant procurement activity under the stated UNSPSC code, and no additional state and local opportunities tagged to this code are present in the source to characterize actual market demand or geographic concentration for the procedure it describes.
