UNSPSC 85762509: Removal of radioactive element from cranial cavity, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of radioactive element from cranial cavity, 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 0WP101Z

UNSPSC 85762509 Removal of radioactive element from cranial cavity, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's nominal scope of neurosurgical radioactive element removal. The mismatch indicates either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code does not capture actual state and local purchasing patterns in a meaningful way.

Activity appears concentrated among Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington jurisdictions, with issuing bodies including municipal retirement offices, city employee benefit programs, state transportation agencies, county probation departments, county procurement offices, and county health systems. However, because the opportunities are unrelated to the code's stated clinical procedure, the geographic and issuing-body distribution does not reflect genuine demand for services under this code's description. Practitioners should treat this code as inactive for state and local business development purposes and investigate whether issuing bodies are applying alternative codes or taxonomy structures for actual neurosurgical or medical imaging-related procurement.
