UNSPSC 85472707: Drainage of dura mater, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of dura mater, 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 00920ZZ

UNSPSC 85472707 Drainage of dura mater, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged with this code address independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for public employees, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve neurosurgical drainage procedures. The mismatch suggests either systemic misclassification of these opportunities or that this code does not reflect actual state and local buying patterns in the current market.

The breadth of unrelated health-care and benefits services attached to this code — spanning occupational medicine, specialty surgery networks, pharmacy claims processing, and clinical staffing — indicates that state and local procurement offices may be using UNSPSC 85472707 as a catch-all for health services rather than following the code's nominal scope. Buyers include city retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health authorities (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), and independent transit authorities. Without opportunities that directly describe neurosurgical procedures, drainage of the dura mater, or related operative spine or neurological work, this code warrants close attention during pre-bid cycles to confirm whether actual procurement intent aligns with the code description or remains misaligned.
