UNSPSC 85621917: Drainage of pineal body, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of pineal body, 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 0G910ZZ

UNSPSC 85621917 Drainage of pineal body, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope describes a specific neurosurgical procedure; however, recent state and local activity under this code shows no alignment with that clinical definition. The opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, and inpatient/emergency services for detained youth—none of which involve neurosurgical intervention or pineal body drainage. This mismatch indicates either a systematic miscoding issue within the posting systems or that the code is being applied as a catch-all for health services procurement broadly. The work actually being solicited reflects administrative and operational health services delivery: occupational medicine examinations for ferry workers, medical record review and scheduling for public safety disability determinations, PBM claims processing and formulary management, temporary clinical staffing across ancillary specialties, and managed care benefit programs.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city retirement offices and pension boards, county human resources divisions and health systems, state departments of transportation, and county juvenile probation departments. The geographic spread of recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations statewide, with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive qualified vendor pool solicitation (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories, with proposals due October 7, 2026. The code shows active procurement volume, but the absence of any true neurosurgical opportunity suggests significant potential for miscoding and misclassification in this reporting category.
