UNSPSC 85472002: Drainage of cerebral ventricle with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cerebral ventricle with drainage device, 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 009640Z

UNSPSC 85472002 Drainage of cerebral ventricle with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most-recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out networks, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve neurosurgical procedures, cerebral ventricular drainage, or endoscopic implantation of drainage devices. The code's nominal scope targets a specific surgical intervention, yet the tagged solicitations reflect routine occupational health, benefits administration, and healthcare staffing services unrelated to neurosurgery.

State and local procurement systems occasionally assign codes that do not align with the work being solicited, and this code appears to exemplify that mismatch. Business development professionals pursuing medical device, neurosurgical, or hospital-procedural services should verify code assignment directly with issuing bodies rather than relying on this taxonomy entry, as the recent opportunity pipeline does not support targeted pursuit under 85472002.
