UNSPSC 85472904: Drainage of cerebral meninges with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of cerebral meninges with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic 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 009140Z

UNSPSC 85472904 Drainage of cerebral meninges with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical scope. The six recent opportunities posted in the source are tagged under this code but describe independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit programs, occupational medical surveillance, juvenile detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve neurosurgical drainage procedures or the specialized interventional technique the code nominally describes. The misalignment suggests the code is either incorrectly applied in state and local procurement systems or sees no active solicitation for the specific procedure it names.

The posting jurisdictions span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County, City of Phoenix), and the City of Long Beach, with work concentrated in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Geographic and issuing-body diversity is wide, but because none of the opportunities match the code's clinical definition, this code does not represent a viable market segment for vendors specializing in neurosurgical drainage or related procedural services. Procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify its assignment in state and local systems or search alternative UNSPSC classifications more closely aligned with medical staffing, health plan administration, and occupational health services.
