UNSPSC 85471827 Bypass cerebral ventricle to peritoneal cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's technical medical procedure descriptor does not align with the recent opportunities tagged to it; instead, those solicitations are for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve the specific neurosurgical intervention the code names.

The recent opportunities posted across state and local bodies (Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County) are sourcing administrative healthcare services, benefits management, staffing, and general medical care delivery rather than the implantable medical device or surgical procedure services this Commodity code describes. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in how the opportunities were tagged or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the work they are actually buying. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their service or product line before investing pursuit effort under this code.
