UNSPSC 85811601: Introduction of other gas into cranial cavity and brain, via natural or artificial opening

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of other gas into cranial cavity and brain, via natural or artificial opening. This administrative 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 3E0Q7SF

This UNSPSC code (Commodity tier) — 85811601, Introduction of other gas into cranial cavity and brain, via natural or artificial opening — shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code name describes a highly specialized neurosurgical or neuroradiology procedure (gas insufflation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes), yet the recent opportunities tagged under it bear no practical connection to that scope.

The most-recent-state-local-contract-opportunities block contains thirty-seven entries across October and prior months in 2026, spanning health system contracting from California to Texas to Nevada to the District of Columbia. Nearly all represent mainstream healthcare service procurement: telehealth urgent care, PACE operations, employee health clinics, cancer screening, EMS billing, occupational health, behavioral health, substance use disorder treatment, staffing services, and medical director roles. None of these solicitations involve intracranial gas insufflation, neuroimaging, or neurosurgical support. The only possible intersection—a handful of references to radiology reads, EKG interpretation, and diagnostic imaging—are incidental to much broader clinical service scopes (occupational health, employee clinics, inmate healthcare). The code's nominal scope and the actual work state and local buyers are pursuing under this tag diverge entirely. This code shows no meaningful recent activity in the state and local procurement market.
