UNSPSC 85471526: Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from brain, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of nonautologous 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 00P03KZ

UNSPSC 85471526 Removal of nonautologous tissue substitute from brain, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—none of which involve removal of nonautologous tissue from the brain or neurosurgical procedures of any kind. The mismatch appears to be a classification error in the source data rather than evidence of active state and local procurement in this commodity category.

State and local governments issue medical services solicitations across diverse issuing bodies—pension boards, transit authorities, counties, cities, and health systems—but these recent records show no activity in neurosurgical implant removal or the specialized procedural work the code describes. No recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices for neurosurgical services appear in the available opportunities. This code shows little relevant procurement signal at the state and local level based on currently posted solicitations.
