UNSPSC 85472914: Drainage of spinal meninges with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of spinal 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 009T40Z

UNSPSC 85472914 Drainage of spinal meninges with drainage device, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical procedure description — a neurosurgical intervention — appears disconnected from the actual work state and local governments are purchasing under this classification.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out benefit programs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. None of these categories involves neurosurgical procedures or spinal drainage devices. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on behalf of Washington State Ferries posted RFP20260825 in August 2026 seeking occupational medical surveillance services from board-certified occupational physicians across 14 ferry locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 in September 2026 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 in July 2026 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing in ancillary clinical specialties including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and therapy services, with proposals due October 7, 2026. Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with an April 9, 2026 deadline and historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million. This code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's neurosurgical scope and the health-system administrative and occupational-health work actually being procured suggests a classification error in the tagging.
