UNSPSC 85471126 Extirpation of matter from basal ganglia, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map accurately to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a neurosurgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities posted under it solicit occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve neurosurgical intervention or basal ganglia procedures. The mismatch suggests either a data-quality issue in code assignment or that this code has been repurposed in state and local procurement systems in ways unrelated to its clinical taxonomy definition. State and local procurement offices issuing under this code span multiple jurisdiction types: county commissioners (Collier County, Harris County), state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), city health systems (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), and county juvenile justice departments.

Geographic activity concentrates in California (Santa Clara County, Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington (Ferries system). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a five-year, $750,000 contract term and an October 16, 2026 proposal deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with a two-year base term, a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026, and an October 9, 2026 response date; the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 deadline; and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees with an April 9, 2026 deadline and an estimated $8.7 million annual spend. Because the code's clinical definition does not align with the scope of work actually being solicited, buyers in this category should verify code assignment independently before pursuing opportunities.
