UNSPSC 85471920: Bypass cerebral ventricle to cerebral cisterns with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

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

UNSPSC 85471920 Bypass cerebral ventricle to cerebral cisterns with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical-device scope. The six most recent state and local opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). None of these solicitations involve cerebral shunt procedures, neurosurgical devices, or the implantable medical technology the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span state departments, county commissions, and municipal health systems, but the work being solicited falls outside neurosurgical procurement—state and local governments are instead buying administrative healthcare services, benefits management, staffing, and clinical evaluations.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, reflecting the dispersed nature of general municipal and county healthcare administration rather than concentration in specialized neurosurgical device procurement. The code does not reflect meaningful state and local procurement activity in its stated commodity area, and the opportunities present suggest a taxonomic mismatch rather than active demand for cerebral ventricle bypass devices or related neurosurgical implants in state and local contracting.
