UNSPSC 85471029: Extirpation of matter from pons, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from pons, 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 00CB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85471029 Extirpation of matter from pons, open approach is a Commodity code with no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal surgical scope. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve extirpation procedures or neurosurgical intervention. The code appears to have been applied categorically to health service solicitations without regard to specificity; the mismatch between the code's defined procedure and the actual work being bought signals either systematic miscoding in the source jurisdiction's tagging or a data classification error.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), and Texas (Harris County), with no concentration pattern and no standout repeat buyers under this code. The recent opportunities show state departments, county governments, and city procurement offices soliciting health services, but the solicitations themselves—including the Phoenix Fire Pension Board medical record summary RFP due October 16, 2026, the Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026, and the WSDOT occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026—do not involve the procedure named in the code. Firms pursuing state and local health services should verify coding accuracy at intake rather than rely on this Commodity code as a search filter.
