UNSPSC 85471930: Bypass cerebral ventricle to cerebral cisterns 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 cerebral cisterns 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 00163KB

UNSPSC 85471930 Bypass cerebral ventricle to cerebral cisterns with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that in practice state and local governments do not procure—the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect substantial misclassification and bear no relation to the nominal neurosurgical procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the six opportunities tagged to it consist of medical staffing, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical carve-out networks, disability evaluation services, and emergency/specialty care for detained youth. None of these services involve the specific neurosurgical intervention the code describes. State and local procurement systems occasionally apply UNSPSC codes to opportunities that do not match their taxonomy scope; this code appears to be an example of that mismatch rather than an active area of genuine state and local purchasing under the neurosurgical commodity name.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block span health systems, county commissioners, state transportation departments, municipal retirement offices, and county juvenile probation departments—a diverse mix of state and local healthcare and human services purchasers. The geographic footprint includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Washington (state-level), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Because the opportunities are fundamentally misclassified against the code's nominal scope, geographic or volume analysis of purchasing activity under this code is not actionable.
