UNSPSC 85481100: Nerves head, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the nerves of the head, percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 01.

UNSPSC 85481100 Nerves head, percutaneous approach is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare — none of which involve percutaneous nerve procedures. The code appears to be a mismatch with the work actually being solicited, suggesting either miscoding at the source level or a fundamental disconnect between the taxonomy and the opportunities posted against it.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix (pension disability medical evaluations), the City of Long Beach (surgical benefit management), the Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (temporary health professional staffing). Activity is geographically dispersed across Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with no concentration evident. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), seeking disability medical record summary preparation and coordination of independent medical and psychiatric examinations for public safety pension applicants at a maximum $750,000 over five years; and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), requiring baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry system locations performed by or under the supervision of a board-certified occupational medicine physician. Neither of these opportunities aligns with the percutaneous nerve procedure coding, and prospective vendors should verify coding accuracy before investing in opportunity qualification work under this code.
