UNSPSC 85471845 Drainage of cerebral ventricle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a neurosurgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it in state and local systems.

The recent opportunities associated with this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these activities involve drainage of cerebral ventricles or neurosurgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding within state and local procurement systems or use of the code as a catch-all administrative placeholder for health services contracting. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee benefits administrators (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County), county juvenile justice departments (Harris County), and county benefits administration (Collier County). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. No recent opportunities in the source actually solicit neurosurgical services, procedural equipment, or clinical staff directly aligned with ventricular drainage.
