UNSPSC 85471612: Extirpation of matter from cerebral hemisphere, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from cerebral hemisphere, 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 00C74ZZ

UNSPSC 85471612 "Extirpation of matter from cerebral hemisphere, percutaneous endoscopic approach" is a Commodity code for a highly specialized surgical procedure that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this code by state and local governments. Recent opportunities posted against this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve the neurological intervention the code nominally describes. The code appears to be a cataloging artifact or misapplication; state and local procurement offices are using it to tag general medical services, evaluations, and administration rather than the specific neurosurgical procedure its name indicates.

The few recent opportunities under this code span a geographically dispersed mix of issuing bodies: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferries locations), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out for employee health plans), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary ancillary clinical staffing). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP with proposals due October 9, 2026, and the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for disability medical record summary and examination scheduling with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000 and proposals due October 16, 2026. No pattern of repeat buyers or geographic concentration emerges from the limited recent activity, and the fundamental mismatch between the code's surgical specification and the medical administration and staffing services being procured suggests the code is not a reliable vehicle for targeting state and local opportunities in this space.
