About UNSPSC 85521000
UNSPSC 85521000 Principal veins brain and spinal cord, open approach-part A is a Class code that does not map to the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this taxonomy entry. The recent opportunities posted against this code span disability medical record review and independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical care carve-outs, and emergency medical services for youth detention — none of which involve neurovascular or neurosurgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the underlying procurement system or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy designation and the goods or services the issuing bodies are actually requesting.
The issuing bodies across the source block include a municipal retirement office (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), and a county health consortium (Collier County). Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP 26001 for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a five-year contract value capped at $750,000, the Washington State Ferries occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 scored 40 percent cost and 60 percent non-cost factors with contract award anticipated by November 30, 2026, and the Santa Clara Health System RFSQ due October 7, 2026 establishing a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear concentration. The code shows recent activity but contains no opportunities meaningfully aligned to neurovascular surgical procedure coding.
