UNSPSC 85471118: Drainage of medulla oblongata with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of medulla oblongata 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 009D30Z

UNSPSC 85471118 Drainage of medulla oblongata with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for public-safety disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit management for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare contracting, occupational medicine, and benefits management work. None involve drainage procedures, neurological devices, or the percutaneous medical interventions the code's name describes. The code appears to have been applied incorrectly to these opportunities by the issuing procurement offices, and state and local buyers do not appear to solicit drainage-of-medulla-oblongata services through traditional RFP, RFQ, or IFB channels.

The opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies—the City of Phoenix, 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—but none of the work aligns with neurosurgical device procurement or drainage-procedure contracting. Without source evidence of actual state and local demand for the commodity this code nominally represents, the code warrants a skip for business development purposes focused on the code's stated scope.
