UNSPSC 85471422: Removal of monitoring device from brain, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from 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 00P002Z

UNSPSC 85471422 Removal of monitoring device from brain, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source records six recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code, but none involve neurosurgical device removal or surgical procedures of any kind. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance services (Washington State Department of Transportation, ferries division), disability medical evaluation and record review (City of Phoenix retirement boards), surgical benefit carve-out programs for health plans (City of Long Beach), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County), and temporary ancillary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara). The mismatch between the code's surgical designation and the actual scope of work being procured suggests either systematic miscoding in the underlying procurement system or that this code is being applied as a catch-all for medical services broadly rather than for the specific neurosurgical intervention the code name describes.

Given the absence of genuine neurosurgical opportunities in the available record, the code does not represent an active state and local procurement category at this time. Firms pursuing state and local medical device or surgical services should verify coding accuracy with issuing bodies directly and consider whether the actual opportunities now flagged under this code—occupational health surveillance, medical management, and staffing—align with their service offerings, rather than relying on the code's nominal scope.
