UNSPSC 85471852: Insertion of monitoring device into cerebral ventricle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of monitoring device into cerebral ventricle, 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 00H602Z

UNSPSC 85471852 Insertion of monitoring device into cerebral ventricle, open approach is a Commodity code with minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a neurosurgical procedure — the insertion of a ventricular device — yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code show no connection to this service line. Instead, the six most recent postings spanning August through September 2026 solicited independent medical evaluation services (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations concern the insertion of cerebrospinal fluid monitoring devices or related neurosurgical implants.

The disconnect between the code's procedural scope and actual buying activity suggests either a systematic tagging error or that this code does not reflect a category of work that state and local governments actively procure through competitive solicitation. No opportunities in the recent block match the neurosurgical device-insertion service this Commodity code describes. If your firm pursues neurosurgical implant supply or related OR services, review the coding of opportunities with issuing procurement offices directly rather than relying on this code's recent activity signal; the taxonomy placement appears unreliable for this particular commodity.
