UNSPSC 85472019: Removal of monitoring device from cerebral ventricle, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of monitoring device from 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 00P642Z

UNSPSC 85472019 Removal of monitoring device from cerebral ventricle, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific neurosurgical procedure—does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. Recent opportunities tagged to this code cover occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employees, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these activities involve the removal of ventricular monitoring devices or percutaneous endoscopic neurosurgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the procurement system or that state and local governments are using this code as a general catch-all for medical services outside its intended scope. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and commissioners' offices (Collier County, Harris County, Santa Clara County), and municipal retirement and benefits offices (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), reflecting a broad range of government purchasers of medical and health-related services.

Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations under an RFP with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a $750,000 five-year contract value; the Washington State Department of Transportation soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry employees across 14 Washington locations on an RFP due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical specialties on an RFP due October 7, 2026. The code's apparent misapplication to general medical contracting makes it a low-priority pursuit target unless your firm operates in the specific neurosurgical procedure space and expects state or local health systems to eventually apply accurate coding to related opportunities.
