UNSPSC 85481307: Drainage of tibial nerve with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of tibial nerve with drainage device, 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 019G00Z

UNSPSC 85481307 Drainage of tibial nerve with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification span occupational medical surveillance, disability retirement evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve tibial nerve drainage or surgical device placement. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to broader healthcare administration and staffing procurements rather than the orthopedic or neurological surgical services the code name indicates.

The issuing bodies cross multiple jurisdictions and entity types: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Phoenix's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations with a $750,000 five-year maximum and an October 16, 2026 response date; Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations with a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026 and proposals due October 9, 2026; and Santa Clara County Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 for a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories with an October 7, 2026 deadline. No opportunities under this code involve the surgical procedures the Commodity designation suggests.
