UNSPSC 85811816: Introduction of electrolytic and water balance substance into cranial cavity and brain, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of electrolytic and water balance substance into cranial cavity and brain, percutaneous approach. 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 3E0Q37Z

UNSPSC 85811816 Introduction of electrolytic and water balance substance into cranial cavity and brain, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with its nominal medical/procedural scope; instead, they span virtual urgent care, general medical services, PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly), rural value-based care networks, cancer registry services, retinal screening devices, EMT staffing, employee health clinics, occupational health, and behavioral health services across diverse issuing bodies including health authorities, counties, cities, school districts, and public hospital systems. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of health-services opportunities suggests either systemic miscoding in the source data or that the code is not actively used to classify routine state and local health procurements.

Geographic distribution spans California (Inland Empire Health Plan, San Mateo County), Nevada (Nevada Health Authority), Georgia (DeKalb County, Cobb County, Forsyth County), Colorado (Denver-area Department of Human Services), Florida (Brevard County, Sarasota County, Seminole County, Ocala), Illinois (Secretary of State), Texas (multiple HHSC and county facilities), and other states including Arizona, Oregon, and New York. Recent activity includes the Nevada Health Authority's PACE RFP (proposals due December 10, 2026) for statewide elderly care operations with monthly capitation rates ranging from $4,532.24 to $8,804.32 by service area; San Mateo County's Cancer Registry Services RFP (proposals due November 2, 2026, with local-vendor preference); and Sarasota County's Medical Director for EMS RFP (proposals due October 19, 2026). The code's recent-opportunities block includes no coherent pattern—the solicitations span occupational health, emergency services, behavioral health, specialty clinical services, and administrative health functions with no clear connection to the code's stated focus on cranial interventions. Pursuing this code requires verification that individual opportunities genuinely require the coded service rather than relying on the code classification alone.
