This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from brain, percutaneous endoscopic 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 00C04ZZ

UNSPSC 85471611 Extirpation of matter from brain, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal neurosurgical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefits administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve neurosurgical procedures or percutaneous endoscopic intracranial intervention. The mismatch suggests this code may be misapplied or that state and local procurement offices are using the UNSPSC classification inconsistently for health services contracting.

The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), and a municipal government (City of Long Beach). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026). Given the code's apparent misclassification across these opportunities, prospective vendors should verify the actual scope of services required before investing in proposal preparation.
