This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of vagus nerve 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 009Q00Z

UNSPSC 85472111 Drainage of vagus nerve with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not reflect the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for vagus nerve drainage procedures or related surgical interventions. Instead, the code carries tags for occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefit administration, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local governments are buying medical administration, employee health screening, and clinical staffing services under this code, not the neurological procedure its name specifies.

Recent activity spans multiple issuing-body types: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record review and independent medical evaluations for public safety pension applicants), the City of Long Beach (surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit management for city employees), the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and other specialties), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), and Collier County (pharmacy benefit management administration). The geographic spread includes Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, seeking occupational medicine examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across Washington ferry terminals), the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, seeking medical record summaries and independent medical examinations for approximately 75 annual public safety pension disability applications at a $750,000 five-year maximum), and the County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing qualification solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026, establishing a multiple-award vendor pool for audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and other ancillary clinical categories with no guaranteed work). The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and actual procurement use.
