UNSPSC 85622006: Removal of drainage device from pituitary gland, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of drainage device from pituitary gland, 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 0GP030Z

UNSPSC 85622006 Removal of drainage device from pituitary gland, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope — a specific neurosurgical procedure involving pituitary gland intervention — does not align with the health and human services work actually being solicited by state and local jurisdictions under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under the code include occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involves pituitary drainage procedures or align with the procedure-specific intent of the code. This mismatch suggests either inconsistent code assignment by issuing bodies or a data artifact rather than a market signal for procedural neurosurgery services.

The recent opportunities do reveal purchasing by diverse state and local issuing bodies including county human services departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara Health System), city retirement and benefits offices (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and county procurement offices (Collier County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, Florida, California, Washington, and Texas. Without opportunities actually seeking pituitary drainage services, the code does not present a viable pursuit vector for vendors in that specialty; vendors should verify code assignments against actual solicitation scope before bidding.
