UNSPSC 85471918: Bypass cerebral ventricle to urinary tract with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to urinary tract 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 00163J7

UNSPSC 85471918 Bypass cerebral ventricle to urinary tract with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-device scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code — including disability medical evaluation services, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention healthcare, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not align with neurosurgical implant procurement. State and local solicitation systems appear to have misclassified these healthcare and staffing services under a procedure-specific device code rather than under appropriate health services or staffing taxonomies.

Given the mismatch between the code's technical definition and the actual work being solicited, the code does not present a coherent procurement opportunity for vendors in the neurosurgical implant space. Entities pursuing state and local contracts should verify the UNSPSC classification of any opportunity before allocating business development resources; the opportunities currently posted under this code serve public employees, retirees, detainees, and ferry workers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but none involve procurement of the bypass device this code nominally describes.
