UNSPSC 85481416: Release tibial nerve, percutaneous 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 01NG3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481416 Release tibial nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show no genuine alignment with orthopedic surgical procedures. Instead, the solicitations address occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve the specific surgical intervention the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code has acquired a broader healthcare-administrative usage that diverges sharply from its clinical taxonomy name.

State and local buyers tagging opportunities to this code include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Given the absence of actual surgical procurement under this code's nominal scope, the code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors offering orthopedic surgical services. Business development professionals should treat this code as showing a coding error or data-quality issue in the state and local procurement ecosystem rather than a legitimate sourcing channel for the work the code's name describes.
