UNSPSC 85471043: Release medulla oblongata, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 00ND0ZZ

UNSPSC 85471043 Release medulla oblongata, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under this taxonomy tag in state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve comprehensive healthcare delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with the neurosurgical procedure the code nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies appear to be using this code as a catch-all or misfiled classification for healthcare service contracts rather than for the specific surgical intervention the code purports to name, creating a meaningful mismatch between the taxonomy label and procurement practice.

Activity under this code spans multiple state and local jurisdictions and issuing-body types, including county governments (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia, Collier County and Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department in California). Recent solicitations posted between February and April 2026 include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison with a May 15, 2026 proposal due date, Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees (posted April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members with an April 16, 2026 deadline, San Mateo County's MHSA Innovation project for peer support services ($580,000 total funding), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for an EMS medical director. The geographic spread centers on California and Florida, with additional activity in Georgia. This code shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement; business development professionals should verify correct UNSPSC coding before investing pursuit effort.
