UNSPSC 85472600: Meninges arachnoid space protective membranes-external approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the meninges and arachnoid space, external approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 00.

UNSPSC 85472600 Meninges arachnoid space protective membranes-external approach is a Class code with minimal alignment to state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect purchases of the medical devices or biological membranes the code nominally describes; instead, they span inmate medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support for mental health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction—none of which involve protective membranes or neurosurgical supplies. The code shows no recent state and local solicitations for the actual products or services its taxonomy name indicates.

State and local procurement bodies in Georgia, Florida, and California posted the five most recent opportunities under this code between February and April 2026, but none involve goods or services reasonably classified as meninges protective membranes. The Columbus Consolidated Government issued RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026); Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million; Monroe County issued an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services effective October 1, 2026; San Mateo County Health issued RFP No. 2025-007 for a peer support services pilot project with $580,000 in total funding; and the Santa Monica Fire Department issued an RFP for a physician medical director. This code appears to reflect a classification mismatch rather than genuine procurement activity aligned with its taxonomy definition.
