UNSPSC 85471805: Bypass cerebral ventricle to pleural cavity 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 pleural cavity 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 0016074

UNSPSC 85471805 Bypass cerebral ventricle to pleural cavity with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific neurosurgical procedure involving cerebrospinal fluid diversion; however, the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code address occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the surgical procedure the code names. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities or inconsistent application of the taxonomy by issuing bodies.

Recent opportunities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington reflect demand for occupational health services, benefits administration, and healthcare workforce support rather than the specific neurosurgical service this code describes. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested disability medical evaluation services; the City of Long Beach sought surgical benefit carve-out management; Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management; and Santa Clara County Health System established a vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing. This code does not show relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.
