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 019G0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481308, Drainage of tibial nerve, open approach, is a Commodity code that describes a surgical procedure. State and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent activity; the recent opportunities in the block are tagged with this UNSPSC code but describe medical administrative, occupational surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health staffing services—none of which align with surgical drainage of a tibial nerve or any surgical procedure itself. The mismatch reflects a classification error in the source data rather than actual state and local procurement of this surgical service.

State and local governments do not typically procure specific surgical procedures through competitive solicitation. The opportunities posted under this code—the City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance, the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out benefit program (which organizes access to procedures through Centers of Excellence rather than procuring the procedures directly), and the County of Santa Clara's temporary health professional staffing—represent health plan administration, occupational health services, and staffing, not the purchase of surgical services themselves. The code assignment appears incorrect for all five opportunities in the block. Vendors evaluating pursuit under this code should verify the actual commodity scope with the relevant issuing body before investing in proposal development.
