UNSPSC 85471904: Bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel 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 blood vessel 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 0016373

UNSPSC 85471904, Bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific neurosurgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it. The code shows little relevant procurement activity grounded in its medical procedure taxonomy. Recent solicitations posted under this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and youth detention healthcare services—none of which directly involve the implantation procedure the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in source materials or a taxonomy assignment error at the issuing bodies' procurement offices.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), and municipal entities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; and Collier County's RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services with a historical spend baseline of approximately $8.7 million annually. None of these solicitations involves neurosurgical procedure codes or implantable medical devices. Firms should verify code assignment with issuing offices before pursuing opportunities tagged under this Commodity code.
