UNSPSC 85481500: Nerves lower extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the nerves of the lower extremity, percutaneous endoscopic 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 85481500 Nerves lower extremities, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Class code whose nominal title does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span occupational and disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical center-of-excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which align with the code's stated scope of percutaneous endoscopic nerve procedures. This mismatch indicates either a systematic tagging error in the source data or a mislabeling of the code itself. State and local procurement does not currently show relevant activity under this code's nominal specialty.

The issuing bodies in the recent opportunities include a city retirement office (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), a state transportation department (Washington), a county health department (Harris County), and a county procurement office (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Without alignment between the code's stated scope and the solicitations tagged to it, the code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for business development purposes at this time.
