This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of intracranial vein with drainage device, 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 059L30Z

UNSPSC 85521310 Drainage of intracranial vein with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope—a specific neurosurgical procedure—and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code do not involve intracranial drainage procedures or surgical devices. Instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly across these health-services solicitations, suggesting either a cataloging error in the source system or a mismatch between how opportunities are tagged and their actual clinical scope. No opportunities in the source directly procure the neurological procedure the code nominally describes.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county health systems and boards of commissioners, state transportation agencies, and county juvenile probation departments. Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (responses due October 9, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (proposals due April 9, 2026 for a three-year term), the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP for pension disability determinations (proposals due October 16, 2026 for a five-year, $750,000 maximum contract), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out program RFP (proposals due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool (proposals due October 7, 2026). The code itself does not appear to reflect active procurement of its stated commodity and should be treated with caution for bid pursuit decisions without direct verification of issuing-body intent.
