UNSPSC 85471945: Drainage of cerebral ventricle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cerebral ventricle, 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 00963ZZ

UNSPSC 85471945 Drainage of cerebral ventricle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose scope and recent procurement activity show a significant mismatch. The code nominally describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not involve cerebral ventricle drainage or neurosurgery. Instead, they reflect a wide range of health services procurement: independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This divergence suggests either a data-mapping error in the source records or a systematic misalignment between the procedural code assigned and the actual scope of work being solicited.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a large municipal government (City of Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (County of Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The recent opportunities—posted between July and September 2026 with response dates concentrated in late September through early October 2026—represent health administration, benefits management, and clinical staffing functions rather than surgical procedures. With no recent opportunities that actually involve cerebral ventricle drainage or related neurosurgical work, this code shows little relevant procurement activity for firms pursuing state and local work in that clinical domain.
