UNSPSC 85682710: Drainage of left occipital bone with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left occipital bone with drainage device, 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 0N9800Z

UNSPSC 85682710 Drainage of left occipital bone with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific neurosurgical procedure — drainage of the left occipital bone with device placement via open surgical approach — and carries ICD-10-PCS procedural coding rather than goods or services procurement taxonomy. Recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve neurosurgical drainage procedures or the implantable devices associated with them. This systematic mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the scope of actual solicitations suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or institutional misapplication of UNSPSC codes to healthcare contracting in these jurisdictions.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System — span local government workforce and public-employee health benefits administration rather than direct surgical procurement. No opportunities reflect purchase of or contracting for occipital bone drainage procedures, related surgical devices, or associated clinical supply chains. The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas, but geographic distribution is immaterial when the underlying code-to-opportunity mapping is broken. Given the absence of relevant recent activity, this code does not warrant pursuit under current state and local procurement signals.
