UNSPSC 85472704: Drainage of cerebral meninges with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cerebral meninges 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 009100Z

UNSPSC 85472704 Drainage of cerebral meninges with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code assigned to a surgical procedure classification, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no direct correlation to neurosurgical interventions. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which involve drainage procedures or neurosurgical device placement. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services contracting unrelated to its intended commodity definition.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional health systems. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, RFP, due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance solicitation (RFP20260825, IFB, due October 9, 2026) across 14 ferry terminals; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award temporary health professional staffing vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) covering 13 ancillary clinical categories. Activity is concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, and Florida, with no geographic clustering evident. The code's assignment appears inconsistent across jurisdictions, making it unsuitable for targeting procurement in neurosurgical device or procedure markets.
