UNSPSC 85521085: Insertion of infusion device into intracranial vein, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to insertion of infusion device into intracranial vein, 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 05HL03Z

UNSPSC 85521085 Insertion of infusion device into intracranial vein, open approach (Commodity) shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code between July and September 2026 involve medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs, occupational health surveillance, and emergency care for detained youth — none of which require intracranial infusion device insertion or the procedural intervention the code nominates. The code appears to be a taxonomy classification error in the source material, applied to opportunities that are administrative healthcare services, staffing, or benefits management rather than surgical device placement or related medical devices and supplies.

The mismatch between the code's procedural scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local procurement patterns for the infusion device insertion service it names. Practitioners evaluating opportunities under this code should verify the accurate UNSPSC classification before pursuing, as the recent activity documented here does not support a business case grounded in the code's stated scope.
