UNSPSC 85471524: Removal of autologous tissue substitute from brain, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of autologous tissue substitute 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 00P037Z

UNSPSC 85471524 Removal of autologous tissue substitute from brain, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with no recent state and local contract opportunities that align with its clinical scope. The source records six recent state and local solicitations tagged or cross-referenced under this code: independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out program administration (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve neurosurgical intervention, tissue removal procedures, or the clinical work the code nominally describes. The solicitations instead span administrative medical services, benefit program management, occupational health compliance, and workforce staffing—functions that fall outside the code's technical definition.

This mismatch signals either a cataloging error in how the opportunities were tagged or a systematic misuse of the code for administrative healthcare procurement. For vendors pursuing opportunities under this code, the tagging appears unreliable as a discovery mechanism. The recent activity under the code label does not support pursuit of neurosurgical implant removal, tissue substitutes, or procedural medical devices; state and local procurement under this UNSPSC number is presently driven by healthcare administration, benefits management, and staffing functions unrelated to the code's intended scope.
