UNSPSC 85471007: Division of basal ganglia, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of basal ganglia, 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 00880ZZ

UNSPSC 85471007 Division of basal ganglia, open approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a neurosurgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve basal ganglia surgery. This mismatch suggests either systematic tagging error or mission creep in how the code is being applied at the state and local level. The actual work being bought under this code label includes comprehensive medical examinations, record review and summarization, network management, claims processing, and provider coordination across multiple health service domains.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), multiple counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), indicating broad-based use across local government healthcare and employee benefit administration. Washington State Ferries has posted an occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 for baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry terminals, with a two-year initial term and up to five one-year extension options; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP due October 16, 2026 for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services at $750,000 over five years; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending around $8.7 million; and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a qualification opportunity due October 7, 2026 for a non-exclusive vendor pool covering thirteen ancillary health professional staffing categories. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single state. The recent-opportunity volume and dollar scale suggest active procurement under this code label, though the disconnect between code definition and actual scope warrants verification of correct UNSPSC assignment before pursuing work.
