UNSPSC 85473226: Removal of drainage device from spinal cord, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from spinal cord, percutaneous 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 00PV30Z

UNSPSC 85473226 Removal of drainage device from spinal cord, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a highly specialized surgical procedure that does not align with the nature of state and local government purchasing activity reflected in recent solicitations. The code appears to name a single clinical intervention rather than a procurement category that states, counties, cities, or other public bodies systematically buy as goods or services.

Recent state and local solicitations posted under this code do not reflect procurement of spinal drainage device removal. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, Washington State Ferries), independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefits management and Centers of Excellence networks (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), temporary health professional staffing for ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and an RFI for emergency and inpatient hospital services for youth in custody. None of these solicitations reference spinal procedures, drainage device removal, or percutaneous surgical interventions. The code shows no relevant recent state and local contract activity; the mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the broader health services administration and staffing procurement actually being tagged under it suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code does not represent an active state and local procurement category.
