UNSPSC 85471409: Excision of brain, open 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 00B00ZZ

UNSPSC 85471409 Excision of brain, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it are unrelated to neurosurgical services — they instead cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. These opportunities represent administrative health care contracting and medical services management, not surgical procedures.

Because the code shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, it does not support a meaningful assessment of market activity, issuing-body patterns, or geographic concentration. Vendors pursuing state and local contracts under this code will encounter a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited.
