UNSPSC 85471921: Bypass cerebral ventricle to nasopharynx with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass cerebral ventricle to nasopharynx with nonautologous tissue 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 00163K0

UNSPSC 85471921 Bypass cerebral ventricle to nasopharynx with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose taxonomy label does not reflect the actual state and local procurement activity recently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show no surgeries or implantable medical devices aligned with the code's nominal scope; instead, they capture occupational health examinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, and surgical care center networks—none of which involve the specific neurosurgical procedure named in the code's definition. The mismatch suggests either a classification or tagging error in the source data, and the code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing contracts in neurosurgical implants or cerebral shunt procedures at the state and local level.

The six recent solicitations across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington span health system procurement offices, county human resources divisions, juvenile probation departments, and state transportation agencies seeking administrative health services, medical staffing, and benefits administration rather than surgical implants or devices. No issuing body appears more than once in the recent block. Given the absence of coherent activity under the code's stated definition, business development professionals evaluating this code for device or implant sales should treat it as inactive in the state and local space shown here and investigate whether their target vendors are better served by codes aligned with medical device distribution, hospital supply contracts, or surgical services procurement.
