UNSPSC 85471415 Insertion of neurostimulator lead into brain, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal title does not reflect the state and local procurement activity actually posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical evaluations for pension and disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out programs — none of which involve neurostimulator implantation or neurosurgery. The issuing bodies include county governments, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and juvenile probation departments. This mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the work actually being solicited suggests either a cataloging error or inconsistent application of the UNSPSC taxonomy across state and local procurement offices.

The geographic spread of recent postings spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) requesting physician-supervised baseline and periodic examinations across 14 locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026, with maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years); and the County of Santa Clara Health System non-exclusive qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of neurosurgical or device-implantation solicitations in the recent-opportunities block, this code appears unsuitable for pursuit by firms in those specialties.
