UNSPSC 85471005: Destruction of cerebellum, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of cerebellum, 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 005C0ZZ

UNSPSC 85471005 Destruction of cerebellum, open approach is a Commodity code whose abstract medical-procedure nomenclature does not align with the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, surgical benefit program management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which concern surgical destruction of the cerebellum or any neurosurgical procedure. The mismatch suggests either misclassification at posting or a data-taxonomy alignment problem rather than genuine procurement demand for the neurosurgical service the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code are primarily county human resources and health departments, city retirement offices, and county health systems, but the actual services they are buying fall outside neurosurgery entirely.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no geographic concentration. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). This code shows little relevant recent activity for the neurosurgical work its name implies and appears to be a classification error or system artifact rather than a meaningful procurement category for business development purposes.
