UNSPSC 85471206: Destruction of medulla oblongata, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of medulla oblongata, 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 005D4ZZ

UNSPSC 85471206 Destruction of medulla oblongata, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local jurisdictions in recent postings. The code's clinical nomenclature describes a specific neurological surgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code center instead on occupational health medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit plan administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty emergency medical services for detained youth. These solicitations involve medical administration, benefit carve-out program management, and provider network coordination rather than the neurological intervention the code nominally names. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal employee benefits departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Collier County), county probation departments (Harris County), and regional transit authorities (Washington State Ferries). The mismatch between the code's name and the actual procurement activity suggests this code is either misapplied in the source data or sees minimal relevant real-world use.

The recent opportunities show activity across Arizona, California, Washington state, and Texas, with no dominant geographic concentration. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees in the Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026). The code shows little activity relevant to its stated clinical scope and would not form a reliable basis for business development targeting neurological surgical procedures in the state and local market.
