UNSPSC 85471804: Bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel with autologous tissue substitute, open 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 0016073

UNSPSC 85471804 Bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that in theory describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little relevance to this code's nominal scope. The six opportunities posted since mid-August 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involves bypass procedures or implants. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local systems rather than an active procurement category.

The issuing bodies span municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county health systems (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and independent purchasing authorities. Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no clear concentration. The single opportunity closest to medical device or procedure procurement is the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), which solicits physician-supervised examinations across 14 ferry terminal locations statewide—but this is occupational health screening, not surgical intervention. No state or local procurement activity under this code in the recent-opportunities block reflects actual demand for bypass procedures or related implants. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and verify classification before pursuing opportunities tagged with it.
