UNSPSC 85472813: Drainage of subarachnoid space, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of subarachnoid space, 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 00953ZZ

UNSPSC 85472813 Drainage of subarachnoid space, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities tagged under this code address independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve neurosurgical drainage procedures or the percutaneous interventional techniques the code nominally describes. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, requiring M.D. or D.O. licensure and five years' minimum experience in disability medical record review and summary preparation. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries is requesting occupational medical surveillance services for four personnel categories across 14 ferry locations, with examinations required to be performed by or under the supervision of a physician board-certified in occupational medicine. The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories, explicitly excluding nursing and physician services. These solicitations reflect administrative, occupational health, and staffing-support functions rather than surgical procedures.

The code sees recent activity across Arizona, Washington, and California, with additional related opportunities in Florida and Texas, though geographic concentration cannot be characterized from the limited sample. Issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Harris County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract value and October 16, 2026 response deadline, the Washington State Ferries RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance with a two-year initial term and October 9, 2026 response deadline, and the County of Santa Clara RFSQHHSFY270052 for temporary health professional staffing with a five-year Qualified List vehicle and October 7, 2026 response deadline. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the neurosurgical procedure its nominal designation suggests, indicating either miscoding in the issuing bodies' UNSPSC assignments or minimal procurement demand for this specific procedure category in the state and local market.
