UNSPSC 85471605 Drainage of brain with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code whose abstract title bears no relationship to the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code address occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, independent disability medical evaluations, and surgical procedure carve-outs for public employee health plans — none of which involve neurosurgical procedures or percutaneous endoscopic drainage. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal scope; the opportunities suggest a UNSPSC tagging error or that the code has been repurposed for healthcare administration and benefits management work unrelated to the procedural service the code name denotes.

The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county commissioners (Collier County), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), state transportation authorities (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal employee benefits offices (City of Long Beach). Geographic spread spans Florida, Arizona, Washington State, California, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026, covering baseline and periodic medical examinations for ferry workers across fourteen Washington locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP, due October 16, 2026, for disability benefit applications with a $750,000 maximum over five years; and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026, across thirteen ancillary clinical categories. None of these opportunities involve the procedural intervention the code nominally describes.
