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 009A4ZZ

UNSPSC 85471213 Drainage of hypothalamus, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a profound mismatch between its nominal medical procedure taxonomy and the state and local contracting activity actually tagged under it. The recent solicitations classified under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which are neurological drainage procedures or percutaneous endoscopic interventions. This code exhibits little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Santa Clara County Health System, Collier County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting broad-based use of health and medical services taxonomy across public jurisdictions. Geographic concentration is diffuse: Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida all appear in the recent record. Representative opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (proposals due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (proposals due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code's application to medical services procurement appears to be a taxonomy assignment artifact rather than meaningful alignment.
