This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of infusion device in 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 00W603Z

UNSPSC 85471873 Revision of infusion device in cerebral ventricle, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for neurosurgical device revision, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's stated scope of neurosurgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of medical and health services opportunities or that this code is being used as a catch-all for diverse healthcare contracting that does not fit the neurosurgical device taxonomy.

Recent activity spans multiple issuing bodies and geographies with no coherent thread to the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; the City of Long Beach (California) posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out programs due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas) issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services due September 25, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services; and Santa Clara County Health System (California) posted an RFQ for temporary health professional staffing. The code appears to serve as a mislabeled repository for state and local healthcare procurement that spans evaluation services, benefits administration, occupational health, and temporary clinical staffing — activities unrelated to neurosurgical device revision. Bidders should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities listed under this category.
