UNSPSC 85471821: Bypass cerebral ventricle to nasopharynx with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to nasopharynx with nonautologous 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 00160K0

UNSPSC 85471821 Bypass cerebral ventricle to nasopharynx with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and medical evaluation services for pension and detention settings—none of which relate to the neurological surgical procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or that this specific surgical procedure is not currently being procured through state and local contract vehicles at the volumes tracked in recent public notices.

The geographic spread and issuing-body mix of the opportunities currently tagged to this code reflect general health services purchasing across multiple jurisdictions: the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational surveillance), Collier County, Florida (pharmacy management), Santa Clara County, California (temporary clinical staffing), the City of Phoenix, Arizona (disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach, California (surgery benefit carve-outs), and Harris County, Texas (youth detention medical services). Representatives of those opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations due October 9, 2026, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 maximum over five years). Absent substantive procurement activity directly aligned with the code's stated scope, the code does not present a viable pursuit opportunity at this time.
