UNSPSC 85472808: Drainage of epidural space with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of epidural space with drainage device, 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 009330Z

UNSPSC 85472808 Drainage of epidural space with drainage device, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific neurosurgical procedure requiring percutaneous access to the epidural space, yet the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical care bundling, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which involve epidural drainage procedures or the specialized surgical equipment the code names. The mismatch suggests either that state and local procurement offices are tagging opportunities under this code incorrectly, or that epidural drainage device procurement does not constitute a meaningful line item in recent state and local healthcare purchasing.

Geographic scope spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, city health plan administrators, state transportation agencies, county health systems, and county probation departments. No recent solicitations solicit epidural drainage devices, surgical supplies aligned with the code, or the clinical services necessary to deploy them. Until opportunities materially addressing the code's nominal scope emerge in state and local RFP, RFQ, or ITB postings, the code presents minimal pursuit opportunity for vendors selling or servicing epidural drainage equipment or related neurosurgical supplies to public-sector healthcare buyers.
