UNSPSC 85471505: Drainage of brain with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of brain 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 009030Z

UNSPSC 85471505 Drainage of brain with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that exhibits minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific neurosurgical procedure — does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The source contains six opportunities issued between July and September 2026, none of which involve brain drainage procedures or neurosurgical implants. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefits and Centers of Excellence networks (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System), and specialty medical services for youth in custody (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). These solicitations represent healthcare administration, occupational health compliance, and workforce staffing — not medical devices or surgical procedures.

The geographic spread of the unrelated opportunities extends across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, reflecting broad state and local healthcare purchasing activity. However, the fundamental mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual opportunities posted indicates that either the code has been misapplied by issuing bodies or the taxonomy entry itself does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns. State and local governments do not appear to be using UNSPSC 85471505 to source or contract for brain drainage procedures or related neurosurgical devices and services at this time.
