UNSPSC 85471902 Bypass cerebral ventricle to mastoid sinus with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a specific neurosurgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitation activity shows no procurement aligned with that clinical scope. The code appears misapplied to the actual opportunities tagged under it, which span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out networks, and youth detention medical services—none of which involve neurosurgical intervention or the specific anatomical procedure the code describes. State and local issuers posting under this code include county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and large municipal employers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The actual work being solicited is health services administration, medical record review, clinical staffing, and benefit program management rather than surgical procedures.
