UNSPSC 85682409 Revision of drainage device in skull, open approach (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this code span medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical procedure carve-outs, emergency medical care for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve neurosurgical device revision or skull-based drainage procedures. The code appears to be a medical procedure taxonomy entry misapplied to broader health services contracting and benefits administration work. State and local buyers posting under this code include county human resources divisions, county health systems, state transportation departments, city retirement offices, county juvenile probation departments, and county boards of commissioners. The issuing bodies lean toward county-level purchasing for employee health benefits and occupational health programs, with one state-level solicitation from the Washington State Department of Transportation.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara), Washington (statewide ferries system), Texas (Houston-area Harris County), and Florida (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year term), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026, cost-based scoring with 40 percent weight on price), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence management for its Anthem PPO plan (due October 7, 2026, two-year initial term with three optional one-year renewals), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered members with historical spend of $8.7 million annually (closed; initial term January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification pool for temporary health professional staffing in 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.
