This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to atrium 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 00163J2

UNSPSC 85471913 Bypass cerebral ventricle to atrium with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific neurosurgical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody. These solicitations concern administrative health program management, staffing, and medical evaluation services rather than neurosurgical implant procedures. The issuing bodies include state health agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county government (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County Health System), and municipal agencies (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach). No issuing body appears more than once in the recent record.

Recent geographic activity spans Washington (occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations), Arizona (independent medical evaluation for public safety retirement), California (temporary health professional staffing across Santa Clara Health System; surgical procedure carve-out for Long Beach), Florida (pharmacy benefit management for Collier County), and Texas (youth detention medical services, Harris County). The code shows little to no relevant recent activity in its stated scope; the tagging of administrative healthcare and occupational health services to a neurosurgical implant commodity code suggests classification drift or data quality issues rather than active procurement opportunity in bypass procedure supplies or devices. Prospective vendors should verify code alignment with actual buying intent before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
