UNSPSC 85621804: Removal of drainage device from pituitary gland, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from pituitary gland, external 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 0GP0X0Z

UNSPSC 85621804 Removal of drainage device from pituitary gland, external approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal clinical scope—surgical removal of a specific drainage device from the pituitary gland—does not map to the opportunities posted under it in state and local government procurement databases. Recent solicitations tagged to this code instead cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth. These opportunities span clinical evaluation and administrative health-benefit services rather than the specific neurosurgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington State, with no pattern of repeat purchasing from a single jurisdiction. The most concrete opportunity remains the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026), which explicitly requires licensure and board certification in occupational medicine across 14 ferry-system locations. Other recent postings—the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing pool (due October 7, 2026)—address different healthcare domains. The code appears to be mis-tagged or used as a placeholder in procurement systems for health-related services that do not involve pituitary-gland drainage procedures; practitioners should verify code accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this commodity.
