UNSPSC 85683053: Drainage of left occipital bone with drainage device, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of left occipital bone with drainage device, 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 0N9830Z

UNSPSC 85683053 Drainage of left occipital bone with drainage device, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under it by state and local governments. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and inpatient specialty medical care for detained youth—none of which align with neurosurgical drainage procedures. The code appears to be a tagging mismatch rather than an accurate classification of the activity state and local procurement offices are conducting. State and local issuing bodies tagging work to this code include a state department of transportation, county health systems, city retirement offices, county board of commissioners, and county juvenile probation departments.

The recent opportunities show geographic spread across Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation is conducting occupational medical surveillance across 14 Puget Sound ferry terminals with proposals due October 9, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office seeks independent medical evaluation services with responses due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years. The County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool with proposals due October 7, 2026 across multiple ancillary clinical categories. Collier County Procurement Services issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spending near $8.7 million. Because the code's nominal scope (neurosurgical drainage) bears no relation to the medical services, occupational health, benefits administration, and staffing work actually being solicited, this code does not represent a coherent procurement category for business development purposes in the state and local market.
