UNSPSC 85471829: Bypass cerebral ventricle to bone marrow 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 bone marrow 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 00160K8

UNSPSC 85471829 Bypass cerebral ventricle to bone marrow with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code's nominal scope describes a highly specialized neurosurgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it bear no connection to that clinical work — they address independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. This mismatch suggests either miscoding on the state and local side or a fundamental misalignment between the code's intent and actual procurement practice in this space.

The opportunities present span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, representing city and county government, state departments, and county health systems. No pattern of repeat buying, volume, or geographic concentration emerges from the recent activity. Given the absence of opportunities actually soliciting the neurosurgical procedure named in the code and the diversity of unrelated health services tagged under it in practice, this code does not represent a coherent procurement category for business development purposes in state and local government.
