This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from dura mater, open 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 00C20ZZ

UNSPSC 85472720 Extirpation of matter from dura mater, open approach is a Commodity code with a fundamental mismatch between its clinical procedure name and the state and local opportunities recently tagged under it. The recent solicitations—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—describe administrative healthcare services, benefits management, and personnel staffing rather than neurosurgical interventions. The code sees little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. Issuing bodies posting under this code span state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), though the opportunities are dispersed across different healthcare and human resources functions rather than concentrated in any single service line.

The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida based on the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026, with no clear regional concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, responses due October 16, 2026) for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications under the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, responses due October 9, 2026, pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, responses due October 7, 2026). The code shows no procurement alignment with its title and does not appear to be a reliable signal for firms pursuing neurosurgical or neurological services contracting activity at the state and local level.
