This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion 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 00P003Z

UNSPSC 85471423 Removal of infusion device from brain, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific neurosurgical procedure—does not align with the work actually being solicited under this code number in the state and local market. The six most recent opportunities posted to this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out management for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management services, and temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories. None of these solicitations involve removal of infusion devices from the brain or neurosurgical procedures of any kind, suggesting a systematic misclassification in how state and local procurement offices are tagging these opportunities.

The issuing bodies across these misclassified opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System—a mix of municipal retirement boards, city benefits procurement, state transportation agencies, county judicial systems, and county health systems. Geographic representation includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Because the code itself does not reflect genuine neurosurgical procurement, no reliable market characterization or vendor opportunity assessment is possible under this UNSPSC number. Firms pursuing state and local health procurement should verify code assignments independently before responding to opportunities tagged under this code.
