UNSPSC 85471915: Bypass cerebral ventricle to pleural cavity with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to pleural cavity 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 00163J4

UNSPSC 85471915 Bypass cerebral ventricle to pleural cavity with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific neurosurgical procedure—does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The recent solicitations tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve the implantable medical device or surgical procedure named in the code. This mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that the code is being used as a catch-all for health services procurement that does not fit cleanly elsewhere.

The issuing bodies span municipal pension offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health programs (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits administration (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Recent opportunities have posted in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with response dates ranging from September 2026 through April 2027. Given the absence of meaningful alignment between the code's stated scope and the work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing medical device, implant, or surgical procedure contracts with state and local buyers.
