UNSPSC 85471840: Bypass spinal canal to peritoneal cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass spinal canal to peritoneal cavity 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 001U0K6

UNSPSC 85471840 Bypass spinal canal to peritoneal cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent solicitations captured—medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical networks, youth detention medical care, and temporary health professional staffing—represent administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing procurement rather than spinal surgical procedures or implants. No recent opportunities show state and local governments soliciting for the surgical procedure itself or related surgical implants.

The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities at the source or material divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are actually tagging their health services procurement. The opportunities do reflect active state and local demand for health services contracting across multiple jurisdictions—the City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County have all posted health-related RFPs or RFQs between July and September 2026—but none of them are purchasing the specific bypass spinal canal procedure named in the code. Firms evaluating this code should verify directly with state and local procurement offices whether this taxonomy category actually receives relevant opportunity postings or whether the code receives only misclassified notices.
