UNSPSC 85471006: Destruction of medulla oblongata, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of medulla oblongata, 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 005D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85471006 Destruction of medulla oblongata, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal clinical scope does not align with the six recent opportunities posted under this designation, which instead cover independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations represent general healthcare administration, benefits management, and staffing services rather than surgical procedures on the medulla oblongata. The mismatch between the code name and actual procurement activity suggests either a classification error in the source data or a fundamental divergence between the taxonomy and the work state and local bodies are actually requesting under this code.

State and local issuers using this code designation include county health systems (Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county government human resources and retirement offices (Phoenix, Collier County), city government (Long Beach), county probation departments (Harris County), and independent public pension boards. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years and an October 16, 2026 deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance with an October 9, 2026 deadline and pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing with an October 7, 2026 deadline. Because the code's stated clinical procedure does not match any of these opportunities, pursuit decisions should prioritize verification of accurate code assignment before allocating business development resources.
