This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of infusion device from cerebral ventricle, external 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 00P6X3Z

UNSPSC 85471707 Removal of infusion device from cerebral ventricle, external approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve removal of infusion devices from cerebral ventricles. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the diverse medical administration, occupational health, and health plan services that issuing bodies are actually buying.

The recent opportunities originate from a mix of state departments, county governments, and municipal health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single repeat buyer standing out in the block. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office solicited independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical benefit carve-out program for employee health plans with proposals due October 7, 2026 (HR26753); and Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services. The code's activity does not concentrate in any single jurisdiction or region, and the underlying work—medical administration, benefits management, and occupational health services—bears no operational relationship to neurosurgical device removal. This code carries a high risk of miscategorization in state and local procurement systems and warrants verification before pursuit.
