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 005A4ZZ

UNSPSC 85471203 Destruction of hypothalamus, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—a neurosurgical procedure—does not match the scope of work actually being solicited under this code by state and local buyers.

Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve hypothalamic destruction or neurosurgery. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) requested independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations in an RFP due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations in an RFP due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing due October 7, 2026. The geographic mix spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with activity across city retirement offices, state transportation departments, and county health systems. The code appears to represent a data-classification error or internal taxonomy mismatch rather than a category under which state and local governments actively procure neurosurgical services.
