UNSPSC 85471925: Bypass cerebral ventricle to pleural cavity 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 pleural cavity 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 00163K4

UNSPSC 85471925 Bypass cerebral ventricle to pleural cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its clinical procedure scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 and tagged under this code span independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which relate to neurosurgical bypass procedures or implantable tissue substitutes. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding in the source data or an artifact in code assignment that does not reflect actual purchasing intent.

The opportunities do reveal that state and local health procurement is active across adjacent clinical and administrative domains. Arizona's City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations ($750,000 maximum over five years, RFP due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach pursued surgical procedure carve-out networks for employee health plans (RFP due October 7, 2026); Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (RFI due September 25, 2026); Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 beneficiaries (RFP submitted April 2026 with annual spend near $8.7 million); and Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across thirteen service categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). Given the code's clinical specificity and the absence of matching solicitations, this code does not present a viable pursuit opportunity under current state and local activity.
