UNSPSC 85471924: Bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel 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 blood vessel 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 00163K3

UNSPSC 85471924 Bypass cerebral ventricle to blood vessel with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code for a highly specialized neurosurgical implant procedure, yet state and local government procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with the code's nominal medical device scope. The recent solicitations tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence programs, temporary clinical staffing, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which involve neurosurgical implants or ventriculoperitoneal shunt procedures. The code appears to be a tagging error in state and local procurement systems rather than a genuine procurement category for this work.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, county commissioners, state departments of transportation, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments. Without confirmed recent solicitations actually procuring the implant device or procedure named in the code itself, this code shows little relevant activity for vendors supplying bypass grafts or neurosurgical shunt materials to state and local healthcare and benefits programs.
