UNSPSC 85471625: Removal of synthetic substitute from brain, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of synthetic substitute 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 00P04JZ

UNSPSC 85471625 Removal of synthetic substitute from brain, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical procedure name and the recent state and local contracting activity tagged under it. The six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational health surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve neurosurgical implant removal. The code appears to be a data-classification mismatch rather than a reflective taxonomy of actual procurement under this code tier.

State and local issuers across multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types have tagged these opportunities with this code: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension board medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (health benefit carve-outs), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The scope mismatch and wide variation in service types across these six opportunities suggests this code may have been applied incorrectly in the state and local procurement systems, or the code's application in practice diverges substantially from its intended clinical scope. No additional opportunities directly supporting procurement of neurosurgical brain-implant removal services appear in the recent record.
