UNSPSC 85472912: Drainage of subarachnoid space with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of subarachnoid space 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 009540Z

UNSPSC 85472912 Drainage of subarachnoid space with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The three state and local opportunities posted under this code in August and September 2026 — independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), and occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation) — are administrative healthcare services and employee benefits program administration, not surgical procedures or medical devices. The code's nominal scope names a specific neurosurgical intervention and implantable device, neither of which appears in any of the posted solicitations. A fourth opportunity from Harris County Juvenile Probation Department seeks general emergency and inpatient hospital services without specification of procedure type. The fifth opportunity from Collier County addresses pharmacy benefit management. None of these buys align with drainage procedures, subarachnoid space intervention, or endoscopic surgical devices, suggesting a classification mismatch rather than active procurement demand under the code's actual scope.

State and local governments appear to be using this code incorrectly when tagging healthcare and benefits administration contracts. Issuers include a municipal retirement office (Phoenix), cities (Long Beach), a state transportation department (Washington), a county juvenile justice authority (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara), distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. No repeat buyers appear under this code. If the code's intended scope — surgical drainage procedures with implantable devices — reflects actual buying activity, it does not surface in recent state and local solicitation data, and vendors should confirm classification accuracy with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
