UNSPSC 85501331: Drainage of intracranial artery, 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 039G3ZZ

UNSPSC 85501331 Drainage of intracranial artery, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code reflect a systematic mismatch: they solicit independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical procedure carve-out management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve intracranial artery drainage or neurosurgical procedures. The code's abstract classification does not align with the work state and local governments are actually buying in the posted solicitations.

The issuing bodies span city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile justice systems, county health systems, and health consortia across Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year maximum (proposals due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). Procurement professionals should verify code assignment directly with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this classification, as the current tagging appears to reflect data entry error rather than genuine neurosurgical procurement activity.
