UNSPSC 85471911: Bypass cerebral ventricle to nasopharynx with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to nasopharynx with synthetic 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 00163J0

UNSPSC 85471911 Bypass cerebral ventricle to nasopharynx with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a neurosurgical procedure — does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under this tag. The six opportunities recently posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve neurosurgical devices, implants, or procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source database or an error in code assignment by issuing bodies; the code shows minimal decision-relevant activity for vendors focused on neurosurgical products or services.

Issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), and a county health system. Geographic spread spans Washington, Texas, Florida, Arizona, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026, with maximum contract compensation of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties, due October 7, 2026. Given the code's nominal scope and the absence of any recent solicitation for neurosurgical procedures or related devices under this tag, pursuit should be limited to firms offering the nonclinical services that have actually been posted — staffing, evaluation administration, or benefit management — rather than the procedural or device-focused work the code name describes.
