UNSPSC 85471861: Removal of monitoring device from cerebral ventricle, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from 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 00P602Z

UNSPSC 85471861 Removal of monitoring device from cerebral ventricle, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities sourced to this code involve pension disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-outs, emergency youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve neurosurgical device removal or cerebral ventricle procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the state and local opportunities tagged to it reflect administrative health services contracting, benefits administration, and clinical staffing. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the procurement system or a misalignment between UNSPSC assignment and the work actually being bought.

No state and local opportunities genuinely aligned with the code's medical procedure scope appear in the recent record. The Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (due October 16, 2026) and Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) represent the most concrete recent solicitations under this code number, but both fall squarely in benefits administration and occupational health rather than neurosurgery. Unless the code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare service contracting more broadly — a practice not uncommon in state procurement systems — this category shows little relevant activity for vendors in neurosurgical device removal or related hospital procedures. Firms pursuing this code should confirm with issuing bodies that the code assignment reflects their actual work scope before investing in proposal development.
