UNSPSC 85471202: Destruction of thalamus, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of thalamus, percutaneous endoscopic 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 00594ZZ

UNSPSC 85471202 Destruction of thalamus, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The six recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code—covering independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve destruction of thalamus or any percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical taxonomy label and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a data quality issue within the state and local procurement system. State and local government procurement offices do not routinely solicit for highly specialized neurosurgical procedures under their own codes; such services, when required, typically flow through health system contracts with hospital networks or specialty providers.

The opportunities that appear under this code instead reflect administrative, staffing, and benefit management services across multiple jurisdictions—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations, RFP due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out, RFP due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance, RFP due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services, RFI due September 25, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management, RFP due April 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing, RFP due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but the procurement activity bears no relation to the procedural code descriptor. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment before pursuing activity in this category.
