UNSPSC 85471810: Bypass cerebral ventricle to cerebral cisterns 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 cerebral cisterns 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 001607B

UNSPSC 85471810 Bypass cerebral ventricle to cerebral cisterns with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The code's technical name describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve the procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests that state and local procurement systems may be applying the code to medical-services contracting more broadly rather than to the specific surgical intervention the code nominally covers.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities span multiple jurisdictions and public entities: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of public safety pension boards), the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Recent opportunities posted since late July 2026 include the Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations due October 16, 2026, with a contract value of $750,000 over five years; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing services across multiple ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. Given the substantial gap between the code's surgical nomenclature and the health-services contracting actually present in recent postings, this code appears to be a labeling artifact rather than a reliable indicator of procurement activity in its stated field.
