UNSPSC 85471948: Excision of cerebral ventricle, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of cerebral ventricle, 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 00B63ZZ

UNSPSC 85471948 Excision of cerebral ventricle, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope — a specific neurosurgical procedure — does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs, temporary health professional staffing, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and independent medical examination coordination — none of which involve the neurosurgical intervention the code nominally describes. The issuing bodies represent diverse state and local sectors: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation (for ferry system occupational health), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant concentration.

The most recent representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations statewide (due October 9, 2026); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for public safety personnel, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026); and the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence for approximately 3,800 enrolled employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated surgical procedure definition and appears to be a misclassification or taxonomy drift issue within the sourcing system.
