UNSPSC 85521309: Drainage of intracranial vein, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of intracranial vein, 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 059L3ZZ

UNSPSC 85521309 Drainage of intracranial vein, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal surgical-procedure scope and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. Recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve intracranial drainage procedures; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and juvenile detention healthcare services. The code appears to have been applied as a catchall classification for diverse health and medical services procurement rather than for the specific neurosurgical intervention its name describes. Given this mismatch, UNSPSC 85521309 shows little relevant recent activity for firms specializing in intracranial drainage or related procedural services.

The issuing bodies across recent postings include county governments (Collier County in Florida, Harris County in Texas, Santa Clara County in California), city agencies (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach), and state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Among the six recent opportunities, the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) and the City of Phoenix independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) represent the most decision-relevant activity, with work spanning Washington, California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. The Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board contract carries a $750,000 maximum over five years and requires medical record summarization and coordination of independent examinations for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications. Business development professionals should treat this code as mis-tagged for traditional surgical services and evaluate pursuit based on capabilities in occupational health, benefits administration, and medical staffing rather than procedural surgery.
