UNSPSC 85481502: Destruction of tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic 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 015G4ZZ

UNSPSC 85481502 Destruction of tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with a nominal clinical scope that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The code's specific medical procedure definition does not match the healthcare administration, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefits management, and temporary clinical staffing services that state and local governments are actually soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities show state and local buyers using this code to tag procurement for independent medical evaluation services, surgical benefits administration, occupational health examinations, emergency medical services for detained youth, and pharmacy benefit management — none of which involve the surgical procedure named in the code itself.

Activity under this code comes from a geographically dispersed mix of issuing bodies including county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state departments of transportation, county health systems, and county juvenile justice departments across Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFQ for occupational medical surveillance services across fourteen ferry terminals (due October 9, 2026), the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across thirteen ancillary categories (due October 7, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services with historical annual spending near $8.7 million and a three-year initial term plus optional renewals (due April 9, 2026). The code shows inconsistent tagging and limited relevance to its stated clinical scope, signaling either classification error in the underlying procurement system or misuse of the code as a catch-all for health-related services purchases.
