UNSPSC 85471100: Brain stem hindbrain-structures controlling reflexes movement vital functions, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the brain stem or hindbrain, percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 0050 Brain.

UNSPSC 85471100 Brain stem hindbrain-structures controlling reflexes movement vital functions, percutaneous approach is a Class code showing minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve neurological procedures or percutaneous interventions of any kind; instead, they cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care platforms, peer support worker services, and fire department medical director positions. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—a medical procedure targeting specific brain structures—and the work actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error or systemic misalignment in how state and local procurement offices are tagging health services contracts. No active state or local opportunities for the code's stated scope (percutaneous brain stem procedures) appear in the recent record.

The tagged opportunities span Georgia, Florida, and California and include the Columbus Consolidated Government's Purchasing Division (inmate medical and pharmacy services, RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services, RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care services, RFP due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (peer support services, RFP 2025-007, due July 2, 2025), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (medical director services, RFP 455, due October 16, 2025). The issuing bodies represent a mix of county human resources departments, corrections agencies, and municipal emergency services. Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's neurological-procedure definition and the health-services contracting activity appearing under it, pursuing opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 85471100 should be treated with caution until the cataloging basis is clarified.
