UNSPSC 85481509: Excision of femoral nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of femoral 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 01BD4ZZ

UNSPSC 85481509 Excision of femoral nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code are actually requesting administrative and occupational medical services, health plan management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary clinical staffing, and youth detention healthcare — none of which constitute excision procedures or surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the posting system or that this Commodity code is being used as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare-related state and local contracting activity rather than for the specific procedure its name denotes.

Recent opportunities under this code span Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, with issuing bodies including city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, a state transportation agency, a county juvenile justice department, a county healthcare consortium, and a regional health system. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under PSPRS, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for a surgical procedure carve-out and Centers of Excellence network for its employee health plan, due October 7, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation is seeking occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system employees across 14 regional locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is building a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing (audiology, imaging, therapy, and related services), due October 7, 2026. Given the divergence between the code's stated scope and the work actually being procured, treating this code as a reliable signal for business development purposes carries substantial risk.
