UNSPSC 85471130: Extirpation of matter from cerebellum, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from cerebellum, 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 00CC3ZZ

UNSPSC 85471130 Extirpation of matter from cerebellum, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a neurosurgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which involve neurosurgical intervention or intracranial procedures. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or use of this code as a catch-all for medical services procurement outside its intended clinical scope.

No state and local contract opportunities in the source directly solicit neurosurgical services, operative procedures, or the clinical work the code nominally describes. The six opportunities posted under this code span the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-outs), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California, Arizona, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Given the disconnect between the code's surgical definition and the administrative and occupational health services actually being solicited, business development professionals should verify correct coding with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this Commodity code.
