This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to intestine 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 00160K5

UNSPSC 85471826 Bypass cerebral ventricle to intestine with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific neurosurgical procedure — does not align with actual recent state and local purchasing activity under this code. The recent solicitations posted under this code describe occupational health surveillance services, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical care — none of which involve the surgical procedure named in the code definition. This mismatch suggests the code may have been misapplied in the state and local procurement system, or the code's use reflects a data-classification error rather than genuine procurement demand for the procedure itself.

State and local issuing bodies posting opportunities under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county probation departments, and county boards of commissioners. The recent activity spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara Health System), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners). Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's request for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001, $750,000 maximum over five years); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). Given the disconnect between the code's procedural definition and the work actually being solicited, this code presents limited relevance for vendors in the surgical-procedure supply chain.
