UNSPSC 85471814: Bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel with synthetic 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 synthetic 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 00160J3

UNSPSC 85471814 Bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal procedural scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract clinical framing—a neurosurgical bypass procedure—does not correspond to the work actually being solicited under it in the recent opportunities block. State and local governments are not purchasing this specific neurosurgical service through UNSPSC-tagged solicitations; instead, the opportunities posted under this code span unrelated health services procurement including independent medical evaluation, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, and temporary clinical staffing. This mismatch suggests either a classification error in how jurisdictions have tagged these opportunities or a code that sees minimal genuine use for its intended neurosurgical purpose.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—city retirement offices (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara), county procurement divisions (Collier County), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and county juvenile justice departments (Harris County)—across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). No recent opportunities represent procurement of the neurosurgical procedure the code nominally describes.
