UNSPSC 85762401: Revision of other device in cranial cavity, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of other device in cranial cavity, external 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 0WW1XYZ

UNSPSC 85762401 Revision of other device in cranial cavity, external approach is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this classification. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure performed within the skull, yet the six recent opportunities tagged with this code span occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, and emergency youth detention healthcare—none of which involve cranial cavity device revision. The misclassification appears systematic rather than incidental; state and local procurement offices have tagged medical services and healthcare administration activities with a code designed for a discrete surgical procedure. This mismatch indicates either a taxonomy data-entry error at the purchasing source or an artifact of how the procurement system indexes health-related work.

The actual recent activity under this code across issuing bodies reflects municipal, county, and regional health-system procurement. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (on behalf of pension boards) is requesting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, with proposals due October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach is soliciting a surgical benefits carve-out program for its municipal employee health plan, with proposals due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries) posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth (responses due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners is seeking pharmacy benefit management services (proposals due April 9, 2026, representing historical spend near $8.7 million annually); and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across 13 health professional categories (proposals due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread spans Washington State, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Given the systematic classification mismatch and the absence of any opportunities actually soliciting cranial device revision or related neurosurgical services, this code shows no meaningful activity aligned with its stated scope and warrants investigation of the underlying procurement taxonomy data before allocating pursuit resources.
