UNSPSC 85472814: Drainage of spinal meninges with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of spinal meninges 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 009T30Z

UNSPSC 85472814 Drainage of spinal meninges with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose abstract title does not align with the actual scope of recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The recent solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve spinal drainage procedures or surgical implants. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the work being solicited; agencies appear to be using this code to tag broad healthcare administration and staffing services rather than the specific interventional procedure the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies span state departments, counties, and municipalities including the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix disability medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026 with maximum compensation of $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Arizona, and Washington, with additional activity in Florida and Texas. The code's recent use by state and local procurement offices does not support a coherent buying pattern aligned with its Commodity-level definition; firms pursuing this code should verify alignment with actual client needs before investing in pursuit.
