UNSPSC 85472735: Repair dura mater, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 00Q20ZZ

UNSPSC 85472735 Repair dura mater, open approach (Commodity) shows a mismatch between its nominal scope—a neurosurgical procedure—and the state and local opportunities actually tagged with it. The recent solicitations cover inmate healthcare management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction; none involve dura mater repair or neurosurgical intervention. The code appears misapplied to health services procurement at the jurisdictional level, suggesting either a cataloging error in the source system or a fundamental disconnect between the taxonomy and how the issuing bodies are tagging their contracts.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed and fragmented across different issuer types. The Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia) is procuring comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison through RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026); Collier County, Florida is soliciting pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 dependents (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026); Monroe County, Florida is requesting virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members (RFP, due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County, California's Behavioral Health and Recovery Services is issuing an RFP for a Mental Health Services Act peer support pilot ($580,000 total funding, proposals due July 2, 2025); and the Santa Monica Fire Department is seeking a physician to serve as EMS Medical Director (RFP 455, proposals due October 16, 2025). The issuing bodies span county health systems, correctional authorities, and municipal fire services across Georgia, Florida, and California. Given the lack of actual neurosurgical procurement and the broad disparity between the code's stated purpose and the work being bought, this code does not represent a viable procurement segment for vendors specializing in dura mater repair or related surgical services.
