UNSPSC 85521449: Replacement of intracranial vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to replacement of intracranial vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic 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 05RL4JZ

UNSPSC 85521449 Replacement of intracranial vein with synthetic substitute, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a highly specialized neurosurgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code classify as medical administration, occupational health surveillance, pharmacy management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve intracranial vein replacement or percutaneous endoscopic surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging artifact or systematic misclassification in the source data. State and local governments issuing under this code do not appear to be buying the procedure the code nominally describes.

The six recent opportunities posted under UNSPSC 85521449 span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office medical evaluation services), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out and Santa Clara Health System temporary staffing), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation ferries occupational medical surveillance), Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department emergency and specialty services), and Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management). No standout repeat buyer emerges across the set. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference August 31, 2026), and the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services (HR26753, proposals due October 7, 2026). The code does not reflect genuine market demand for the intracranial vein replacement procedure it nominally describes.
