This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to peritoneal cavity with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85471917 Bypass cerebral ventricle to peritoneal cavity with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope — a specific neurosurgical implant procedure — and the state and local contract opportunities actually posted under this code tag. The recent opportunities do not represent medical device procurement or surgical implant supply; instead, they reflect health services contracting including independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, specialty surgical center networks, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency detention healthcare. State and local governments are not soliciting the named neurosurgical procedure or related implants under this code. The issuing bodies include city retirement boards (Phoenix), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County, Collier County), state transportation departments (Washington), and municipal governments (Long Beach). None of the recent opportunities target procurement of bypass implants or related neurosurgical supplies.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence benefits management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 state ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 covered lives with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (RFP 25-8414, initially posted with an April 9, 2026 due date). The code shows no decision-relevant recent activity for neurosurgical implant procurement and appears to be incorrectly tagged in the state and local procurement database.
