UNSPSC 85472001: Destruction of cerebral ventricle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of cerebral ventricle, percutaneous endoscopic 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 00564ZZ

UNSPSC 85472001 Destruction of cerebral ventricle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not match the work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty healthcare services for detained youth — none of which involve neurosurgical procedures or the specific clinical intervention the code describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification in the source data or that this code is used as a catch-all placeholder for broader healthcare procurement outside its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), reflecting fragmented procurement activity across different public-sector healthcare and benefits functions. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) supporting disability pension determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's solicitation for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Geographic activity clusters in California, Arizona, Florida, and Washington. Given the code's poor alignment with actual solicitation content, the category warrants close review for reclassification or treatment as a low-signal procurement line.
