UNSPSC 85472900: Meninges arachnoid space protective membranes-percutaneous endoscopic approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the meninges and arachnoid space, percutaneous endoscopic approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 00.

UNSPSC 85472900 Meninges arachnoid space protective membranes—percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Class code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect medical devices or surgical membranes; instead, they reflect a broad range of health-care and occupational medical services, including independent disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary clinical staffing placement.

The issuing bodies represent a diverse cross-section of state and local jurisdiction types: municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, serving police and fire pension boards), large cities (City of Long Beach, City of Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara), and county health systems. Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no single geographic cluster dominating. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for approximately 75 annual disability benefit applications, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026 with a pre-bid conference scheduled August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 qualification-pool solicitation for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and other specialty categories. The code's tagging here reflects a data classification mismatch rather than legitimate procurement activity in surgical membranes or implantable neurosurgical devices.
