UNSPSC 85472838: Supplement cerebral meninges with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement cerebral meninges with synthetic substitute, 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 00U13JZ

UNSPSC 85472838 Supplement cerebral meninges with synthetic substitute, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's clinical specificity—describing a neurosurgical procedure for intracranial membrane repair using synthetic material—does not match the scope of work state and local governments are actively soliciting under this tag. Recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out administration, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these represent the procurement of implantable medical devices or neurosurgical procedure bundles. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the point of posting or inconsistent application of UNSPSC taxonomy by individual jurisdictions.

The six most recent opportunities under this code originate from state health systems and county purchasing offices in California (Collier County, Santa Clara County, Long Beach), Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office), Washington (WSDOT Washington State Ferries), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), with response dates clustered between late September and early October 2026. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) seeking baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry locations, the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks managing knee, hip, spine, and oncology procedures, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit application assessments under the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System. The code exhibits no current activity in medical device procurement and should not be the basis for business development in implantable neurosurgical supplies.
