UNSPSC 85473541: Removal of neurostimulator lead from cranial nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of neurostimulator lead from cranial nerve, open 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 00PE0MZ

UNSPSC 85473541 Removal of neurostimulator lead from cranial nerve, open approach is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it bear no relation to surgical neurostimulator procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted are for occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension boards, surgical procedure carve-out networks, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve neurostimulator removal or cranial nerve surgery. This classification mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the underlying procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the code's nominal scope and how it is being applied in practice.

No state or local government opportunities for neurostimulator lead removal under this code are documented in the source material. Business development professionals should verify whether this Commodity code is actively used in state and local procurement or whether surgical device removal services are typically classified elsewhere within the UNSPSC taxonomy.
