UNSPSC 85473005 Revision of drainage device in spinal cord, external approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure on a spinal device, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this code reflect medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, emergency youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve spinal cord drainage device revision or surgical intervention on implanted medical devices. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied to opportunities for which it is not a fit, or the dataset reflects administrative assignment errors rather than substantive procurement activity in this narrow clinical domain.

Recent solicitations tagged under this code span multiple issuing bodies and geographies but offer no meaningful signal about genuine market activity for spinal drainage device revision services. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) requested proposals for a surgical carve-out benefit program due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026; Collier County (Florida) requested pharmacy benefit management services with an April 9, 2026 deadline; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) posted a temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle due October 7, 2026. None of these opportunities involve implanted spinal devices or drainage system revision procedures. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for its nominal scope and verify proper categorization before pursuing opportunities tagged under it.
