UNSPSC 85471621: Removal of drainage device from brain, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from brain, percutaneous endoscopic 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 00P040Z

UNSPSC 85471621 Removal of drainage device from brain, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent 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 six most recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code involve disability medical evaluations for public-safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing services. None of these opportunities involve the procurement of neurosurgical drainage-device removal or related clinical services. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error in the state and local procurement systems or an artifact of how jurisdictions tag health services contracts at a granular clinical-procedure level.

The recent activity does reflect solicitations from diverse issuing bodies—municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation authorities (Harris County), county commissioners and health consortia (Collier County), and county health systems (County of Santa Clara)—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. However, because none of these opportunities involve the procedure described in the code, the geographic and issuing-body distribution does not signal actionable procurement concentration under UNSPSC 85471621. Firms evaluating this code should verify with target state and local agencies whether they use this classification for relevant neurosurgical or neurodiagnostic device procurement, or whether the code is consistently misapplied in their purchasing systems.
