UNSPSC 85471940: Bypass spinal canal to peritoneal cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass spinal canal to peritoneal 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 001U3K6

UNSPSC 85471940, Bypass spinal canal to peritoneal cavity with nonautologous tissue substitute, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect the medical device or surgical-procedure classification the code nominally describes. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out program administration — administrative and staffing services tangential to the peritoneal shunt procedure itself. The code shows little relevant recent activity in alignment with its actual scope.

The six recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluations for public safety pension determinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit carve-out program design), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (specialty medical services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (temporary clinical staffing across multiple ancillary categories). Geographic activity appears concentrated in California (Long Beach, Collier County, Santa Clara County), Washington (WSDOT), Arizona (Phoenix), and Texas (Harris County), with response dates spanning September through October 2026 for most opportunities. The taxonomy mismatch between the code and actual buying activity suggests this code is either misapplied by the issuing jurisdictions or reflects low-volume procurement unrelated to spinal bypass device supply or implantation services.
