UNSPSC 85521110: Drainage of intracranial vein with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of intracranial vein with drainage device, 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 059L00Z

UNSPSC 85521110 Drainage of intracranial vein with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure involving neurosurgical intervention and medical devices; however, the state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect procurement of occupational health surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary healthcare staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. These opportunities involve health plan administration, staffing logistics, and benefit program management rather than the implantation or drainage procedures the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the underlying opportunity records or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services without specificity to the actual clinical or procedural scope.

No recent state and local procurement activity directly reflects the surgical drainage device or intracranial procedure scope that UNSPSC 85521110 names. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but all address occupational medicine surveillance, health plan vendor services, staffing networks, or medical administration rather than neurosurgical supplies, devices, or procedures. Until opportunities emerge that specifically solicit intracranial drainage devices or related surgical inventory, this code shows no actionable signal for vendors focused on the stated commodity.
