This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cerebral ventricle with drainage device, open 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 009600Z

UNSPSC 85471844 Drainage of cerebral ventricle with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no 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 solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), disability medical evaluations for public safety pension boards (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out networks for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County, Florida), temporary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties (Santa Clara County Health System), and emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). None of these opportunities involve neurosurgical procedures, drainage devices, or the specific clinical intervention the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding at the issuing bodies or that this commodity code is not the appropriate classification for the medical services state and local governments are actually buying. Business development professionals should verify the code classification with individual procurement offices before pursuing opportunities listed under it.
