UNSPSC 85473126: Removal of drainage device from spinal cord, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from spinal cord, open 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 00PV00Z

UNSPSC 85473126 Removal of drainage device from spinal cord, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six recent solicitations posted between July and September 2026 across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington involve occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, Centers of Excellence surgical networks, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which match removal of a spinal cord drainage device or any orthopedic or neurosurgical procedure removal specifically.

The mismatch suggests that either the code was applied incorrectly to these opportunities by the issuing bodies' procurement systems, or the code does not meaningfully capture state and local government purchasing in this area. The recent activity spans health system administration (Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP, Santa Clara Health System's temporary staffing qualification pool), occupational and disability medicine (Washington State Ferries medical surveillance, Phoenix Pension Board disability evaluations), and managed care networks (City of Long Beach Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out), but none involves spinal cord device removal or related neurosurgical procurement. Without opportunities tagged to this code that reflect its nominal scope, no reliable signal emerges about issuing-body patterns, geographic concentration, or procurement volume under UNSPSC 85473126 itself.
