UNSPSC 85471103: Destruction of hypothalamus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of hypothalamus, percutaneous 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 005A3ZZ

UNSPSC 85471103 Destruction of hypothalamus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally describes a surgical neurological procedure, but the recent opportunities logged under this code are medical and health services contracts—independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve hypothalamic destruction or percutaneous neurosurgical intervention. The mismatch indicates that this code is either miscoded in the source data or carries historical artifact entries unrelated to its stated scope.

The source records show activity across state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach). Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026). Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, and Washington. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work posted under it, this code does not present a reliable signal for procurement pursuit in hypothalamic neurosurgery or related fields.
