UNSPSC 85471822: Bypass cerebral ventricle to mastoid sinus 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 mastoid sinus 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 00160K1

UNSPSC 85471822 Bypass cerebral ventricle to mastoid sinus with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that the source material does not support with relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, but recent state and local opportunities posted under this code involve 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 match the narrowly defined surgical procedure the code nominally covers. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code sees minimal genuine activity aligned with its stated scope.

The six opportunities in the recent record (from Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State Ferries, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County between July and September 2026) span multiple states and issuing-body types—county government, city government, a state transportation department, a state ferries system, and a county health system—but none involve the procedure or related surgical implant procurement. Until state and local procurement systems tag opportunities consistently with this code's actual scope, the code presents minimal actionable signal for firms focused on the neurosurgical implant and procedural services market at the state and local level.
