UNSPSC 85472801: Destruction of cerebral meninges, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of cerebral meninges, percutaneous 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 00513ZZ

UNSPSC 85472801 Destruction of cerebral meninges, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations for public safety retirement disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which correspond to the procedural neurosurgery work the code describes. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this Commodity code is not actively used in state and local procurement.

The recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies — the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California) — but they collectively illustrate medical administration and staffing services rather than procedural destruction of meninges. Practitioners evaluating pursuit under this code should verify with issuing bodies that the UNSPSC classification is intentional; absent clarification, activity here does not indicate a viable procurement target.
