UNSPSC 85471914: Bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel with synthetic 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 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 00163J3

UNSPSC 85471914 Bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that bears no meaningful relationship to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities posted under this code solicit occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve bypass procedures or cerebral-ventricle interventions. This mismatch suggests a classification error in the state and local procurement system rather than legitimate activity under the code's intended scope.

The geographic spread of the mistagged opportunities spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington State (Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates clustered between September and October 2026. No meaningful vendor pursuit strategy should target this code in its current state; the taxonomy signal is corrupted, and opportunities that genuinely involve neurosurgical supplies or services are not being posted under it.
