UNSPSC 85501531: Drainage of intracranial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of intracranial artery, 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 039G4ZZ

UNSPSC 85501531 Drainage of intracranial artery, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification show no connection to intracranial drainage or surgical intervention. Instead, the opportunities span disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical procedure carve-out benefits for employee health plans—none of which involve the percutaneous endoscopic drainage procedure the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly to these procurements or reflects a classification error in the sourcing system.

State and local bodies issuing under this code include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), a state transportation department (Washington), a county health system (Santa Clara), a city human resources department (Long Beach), and a county juvenile probation department (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years), the County of Santa Clara Health System RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026, and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. Geographic spread covers Arizona, Florida, Washington, and California. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated scope and warrants verification before pursuit.
