This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to bone marrow 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 00160J8

UNSPSC 85471819 Bypass cerebral ventricle to bone marrow with synthetic substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six most recent state and local opportunities tagged or described under this code — spanning Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida — cover independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations involve neurosurgical procedures, cerebrospinal fluid management, or bone marrow access; the code's nominal scope does not align with the actual work being purchased.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the source or that this Commodity code is not actively used in state and local procurement for its stated clinical procedure. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with target procurement offices before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under this number, as the recent activity offers no clear entry point aligned with the code's medical procedure specification.
