This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute 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 00P007Z

UNSPSC 85471424 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from brain, open approach is a Commodity code with a nominal scope focused on a specific neurosurgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show little meaningful alignment with that clinical descriptor. The available solicitations instead span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out networks—none of which involve removal of tissue substitute from brain tissue. The code shows a clear tagging mismatch between its procedural name and the work actually being procured, suggesting either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a data classification issue that obscures the true commodity scope.

Recent activity appears across three states with no geographic concentration. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach is seeking surgical procedure carve-out benefit management for its Anthem PPO plan (HR26753, due October 7, 2026); the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026); and Collier County is procuring pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). Because the posted opportunities do not substantively address the code's stated scope, the code warrants skepticism as a reliable indicator of actual procurement demand in this product or service area.
