This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of drainage device in head, external 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 0WW0X0Z

UNSPSC 85763835 Revision of drainage device in head, external approach is a Commodity code for which state and local procurement activity does not match the nominal scope. Recent opportunities tagged under this code involve independent medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services—none of which align with neurosurgical drainage device revision. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement systems that generated these opportunities or that the code has been repurposed to capture broader medical services procurement that extends well beyond the literal procedure name. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state departments of transportation, county commissioners' offices, and county juvenile probation departments, indicating that health and human services procurement spans multiple jurisdictional levels and administrative functions.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (Santa Clara County, City of Long Beach, Collier County), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with sporadic representation elsewhere. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services to support disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, with $750,000 maximum compensation over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 IFB for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 RFP to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical categories. Given the divergence between code name and actual solicitation scope, firms should verify coding accuracy against RFP or IFB notices before investing in pursuit strategy.
