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 01ND0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481315 Release femoral nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a specific surgical procedure. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show significant misalignment: the code nominally refers to a surgical intervention, yet the opportunities actually solicited are for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services. None of these opportunities involve femoral nerve release procedures. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span diverse public sector functions — a city retirement system (Phoenix), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile justice department (Harris County), a county health system (Santa Clara), a city employee benefits office (Long Beach), and a county purchasing division managing a health care consortium (Collier County). Geographic spread is limited to Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's October 16, 2026 RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (RTMRFP26001), the Washington State Department of Transportation's October 9, 2026 RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's October 7, 2026 solicitation for a qualified vendor pool of temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary categories (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code's current tagging appears to reflect administrative or data-entry error rather than active procurement of femoral nerve release services.
