UNSPSC 85471923: Bypass cerebral ventricle to atrium 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 atrium 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 00163K2

UNSPSC 85471923 Bypass cerebral ventricle to atrium with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this designation. Recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary ancillary health professional staffing — none of which involve neurosurgical implant procedures or ventricular bypass grafts. The mismatch indicates that the code classification system used by these issuing bodies does not consistently align this commodity code with medical device procurement, and the tagged opportunities reflect instead general healthcare services and benefit administration across municipal and county health systems.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health systems (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county benefits administration (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), with response dates spanning late September through early April 2027. Geographic activity concentrates in California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Arizona (Phoenix), Washington State, Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no coherent pattern suggesting concentration in specific regions. Given the fundamental misalignment between the code's nominal scope and the actual work posted under it, this code does not represent a viable procurement avenue for vendors offering neurosurgical devices or cerebral ventricular bypass products.
