UNSPSC 85471227: Extirpation of matter from thalamus, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 00C94ZZ

UNSPSC 85471227 Extirpation of matter from thalamus, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's clinical nomenclature does not align with the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve neurological procedures or percutaneous endoscopic interventions. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the solicitations suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or an exceptionally broad interpretation of the code that does not reflect typical procurement practice under UNSPSC medical-procedure classifications.

The recent opportunities originate from a mix of issuing bodies: city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county benefits consortia (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), county probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and county health departments. These solicitations are concentrated in California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with response dates ranging from September through October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026). Neither opportunity involves the neurological procedure the code nominally describes.
