UNSPSC 85471903: Bypass cerebral ventricle to atrium with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to atrium with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous 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 0016372

UNSPSC 85471903 Bypass cerebral ventricle to atrium with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, and youth detention medical services — none of which involve the neurosurgical implant or procedure specified in the code's definition. The mismatch suggests either miscoding of opportunities in the source data or a significant divergence between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the work state and local agencies are actually buying under this number.

The recent opportunities—from the Washington State Department of Transportation ferries division, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System—span occupational health compliance, emergency medical services for detained youth, disability determination support, health plan benefit administration, and clinical staffing placement. These issuing bodies and service categories do not align with neurosurgical procedure codes or cerebral shunt implantation work. Until opportunities are correctly coded or the UNSPSC taxonomy is reconciled with actual state and local buying patterns, this code does not provide actionable market intelligence for business development purposes.
