UNSPSC 85471426: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from brain, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous 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 00P00KZ

UNSPSC 85471426 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from brain, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving brain tissue—does not align with the work actually being solicited by state and local governments posting opportunities tagged to this code. Recent solicitations under this UNSPSC number span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, and specialty surgical carve-out programs for municipal employees. None of these engagements involve the procedure named in the code's definition. The purchasing entities include county boards of commissioners, state departments of transportation, city retirement offices, city health systems, county juvenile probation departments, and county health consortiums. The mismatch between the code's procedural definition and the actual scope of work being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how these jurisdictions are tagging their medical services contracts.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington State, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no single state accounting for a concentrated share. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) seeking physicians board-certified in occupational medicine to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations, the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) for disability pension benefit determinations budgeted at $750,000 over five years, and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle (due October 7, 2026) establishing a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories. Given the code's misalignment with current state and local procurement activity, treating opportunities tagged to this code as signals of actual medical-services demand would require verification against the issuing body's detailed scope of work rather than reliance on the code definition itself.
