UNSPSC 85521090 Extirpation of matter from intracranial vein, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a neurosurgical procedure, but recent opportunities posted under this code are predominantly administrative and staffing services — pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional placement, and independent medical evaluations — rather than the procedural intervention the code name identifies. The mismatch between code name and actual solicitation content suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that state and local purchasing systems are applying this code broadly to encompass health services administration rather than to track the specific surgical intervention. One opportunity (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department RFI 071626BNM for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth) aligns more closely with the code's nominal scope, but the source material provides insufficient detail on what specific procedures or interventions would be procured.

Issuing bodies include county health departments and systems (Santa Clara, Collier County), municipal retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), city human resources divisions (Long Beach), and county juvenile justice authorities (Harris County). Geographically, recent opportunities appear across California, Florida, Arizona, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the County of Santa Clara Health System's July 2026 RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories with proposals due October 7, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's September 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations with a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000 and responses due October 16, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's August 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with a pre-bid conference on August 31 and responses due October 9, 2026. Bidders pursuing this code should verify alignment with actual scope before investing in proposal development, as the recent opportunities do not substantiate the surgical intervention implied by the code description.
