UNSPSC 85471412: Extirpation of matter from cerebral hemisphere, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from cerebral hemisphere, 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 00C70ZZ

UNSPSC 85471412 Extirpation of matter from cerebral hemisphere, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—neurosurgical extraction—bears no relation to the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing. These solicitations address occupational health, public safety personnel retirement disability determinations, employee health plan administration, and clinical staffing—none of them neurosurgical. The code shows a significant scope mismatch: state and local procurement offices have tagged it to broad healthcare administration and staffing services rather than any procedure explicitly named in the code. This signals either a cataloging error in the source jurisdictions or a material divergence between the code's intended scope and actual purchasing practice.

The recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies and states with no clear geographic concentration. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach (California) requested proposals for surgical benefit carve-out network management; the Washington State Department of Transportation sought occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County (Florida) procured pharmacy benefit management services; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California) established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. No issuing body appears twice in the recent record, and the geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the fundamental mismatch between the code's neurosurgical name and the healthcare administration and staffing services actually being solicited, firms should verify code applicability before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged to 85471412—the code does not reliably identify relevant procurement activity.
