UNSPSC 85471114: Drainage of pons with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of pons 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 009B30Z

UNSPSC 85471114 Drainage of pons with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the state and local procurement activity actually occurring under its taxonomy number. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, youth detention healthcare services, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which concern neurosurgical drainage procedures. The code appears to be a clinical procedure classification inappropriately applied to administrative and operational healthcare procurement, signaling a taxonomy alignment issue rather than genuine activity in the underlying medical procedure scope.

The few opportunities posted under this code originate from state health systems, county human resources and retirement offices, and a state transportation department seeking clinical and administrative health services. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries solicitation for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation request (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) represent the most recent activity. Geographic spread is limited to Washington, Arizona, California, and Florida based on recent postings. No compelling business opportunity exists under this code for vendors in medical devices, surgical services, or procedure-specific equipment; bidders pursuing health services work should verify the correct UNSPSC codes with issuing bodies, as the current classification does not meaningfully predict the healthcare services actually being bought.
