This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from cerebral meninges, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85472919 Extirpation of matter from cerebral meninges, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are administrative healthcare services and workforce solutions rather than neurosurgical procedures. None of the opportunities solicited the specific procedural service the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this UNSPSC category is rarely if ever used by state and local governments for its intended purpose.

The solicitations that are tagged to this code span diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. The only opportunity with a clear medical-evaluation thread—the Phoenix RFP for independent medical evaluations supporting disability pension determinations—is administrative medical record review and examination scheduling for approximately 75 annual applications, with a $750,000 maximum over five years and proposals due October 16, 2026. Buyers pursuing work under this code should verify the actual scope with issuing bodies before bid preparation, as the code's nominal description does not align with what jurisdictions are actually soliciting.
