This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from brain, percutaneous 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 00P032Z

UNSPSC 85471522 Removal of monitoring device from brain, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows substantial mismatch between its nominal medical procedure scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve neurosurgical device removal; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pools, and specialty medical services for detained youth. The code appears to be a classification artifact rather than a live procurement category under which state and local bodies are actively sourcing neurosurgical services. No solicitations in the source material request removal of brain-implanted monitoring devices or related neurosurgical procedures.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and specialized boards (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeking baseline and periodic physician-led medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations; the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) requesting disability record summary and examination coordination for approximately 75 annual public safety pension applications; and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a multi-category vendor pool for ancillary clinical staffing without guaranteed volume. The code shows no active market for the neurosurgical procedure it nominally describes.
