UNSPSC 85472825: Extraction of cerebral meninges, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction 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 00D13ZZ

UNSPSC 85472825 Extraction of cerebral meninges, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its clinical nomenclature and current state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged under it involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which entail extraction of cerebral meninges. State and local governments posting opportunities under this code are actually sourcing administrative medical services, benefit plan management, and clinical staffing support rather than neurosurgical interventions. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), city health plans (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile authorities (Harris County), and county human resources departments (Collier County). This code appears to reflect a taxonomy misapplication rather than active procurement of the procedure the code nominally describes.

Geographic activity clusters in California, Arizona, Washington, Florida, and Texas based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services to assess disability claims for public safety personnel (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026, with cost-based scoring); and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award). The code exhibits low decision-relevance for firms seeking to align with the work state and local governments are actually buying under this classification.
