This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in 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 00W03KZ

UNSPSC 85471536 Revision of nonautologous tissue substitute in brain, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations—independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, occupational medical surveillance, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—involve healthcare administration, procurement of clinical labor, and benefits management services. None involve neurosurgical tissue substitutes or brain surgery supplies. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the nominal scope and the opportunities actually posted suggests either miscoding by the issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the work being procured.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement system (Phoenix), two municipalities (Long Beach and Washington State Ferries), a county probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 maximum over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026, approximately $8.7 million annually in historical pharmacy spending). Because the posted opportunities bear no substantive connection to the code's stated scope, business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for procurement purposes.
