UNSPSC 85471700: Cerebral ventricles spinal canal-external approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the cerebral ventricles and spinal canal, external approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 00.

UNSPSC 85471700 Cerebral ventricles spinal canal—external approach, a Class code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The five opportunities tagged under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — are administrative healthcare management, behavioral health support, and occupational health services, not neurosurgical or neurological procedures or equipment related to cerebral ventricle or spinal canal access.

The code's nominal scope appears to describe a specialized medical procedure or diagnostic service, yet the recent solicitations do not reflect procurement of neurosurgical services, implants, imaging systems, or related clinical products. State and local governments (county corrections systems, county human resources departments, and municipal fire departments in the source) are using this code designation for generalist healthcare administration, pharmacy claims processing, telemedicine platforms, and workforce wellness support — none of which align with the code's procedure-specific definition. No activity under the code's actual scope was identified in recent state or local notices.
