UNSPSC 85472826: Extraction of dura mater, 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 00D23ZZ

UNSPSC 85472826 Extraction of dura mater, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being procured under this tag in state and local government. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs, specialty medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services — none of which involve dura mater extraction or percutaneous neurosurgical procedures. This appears to be a taxonomy misclassification issue where state and local procurement offices have tagged health services opportunities with a surgical procedure code that bears no relationship to the scope of work solicited. The code shows no activity aligned with its stated definition.

State and local buyers posting opportunities under this code represent a geographic and issuing-body mix that spans county health systems, municipal and county retirement offices, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, and large city benefits offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington — but the opportunities themselves target health program administration, occupational medicine, employee benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing, not surgical extraction services. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being bought, this code carries minimal value for business development purposes in the surgical services space. Vendors in neurosurgery, perioperative services, or dura mater-related procedures should not rely on this code to identify relevant opportunities; the recent activity reflects administrative and staffing functions only.
