UNSPSC 85471907: Bypass cerebral ventricle to peritoneal cavity 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 peritoneal cavity 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 0016376

UNSPSC 85471907 Bypass cerebral ventricle to peritoneal cavity with autologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that designates a specific surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities show no solicitations for this neurosurgical intervention itself. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty surgical network management—work fundamentally unrelated to ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual purchases suggests either miscoding by issuing offices or automated tagging errors in the source data. State and local governments do not appear to be actively procuring this specific procedure code through public contract vehicles at present.

The recent opportunities reflect broader health services and medical staffing procurement across multiple issuing bodies. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services ($750,000 over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach requested surgical and medical procedure carve-out management through Centers of Excellence (RFP due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferry system procured occupational medical surveillance (RFP due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (due September 25, 2026); Collier County solicited pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (RFP due April 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System sought temporary staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical services (RFP due October 7, 2026). Activity spans retirement benefit administration, public employee health programs, juvenile detention healthcare, county employee benefits, and hospital temporary staffing—none of which aligns with the procedure code's explicit definition. The code shows no relevant recent activity for this specific surgical service line.
