UNSPSC 85481511: Extirpation of matter from femoral nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 01CD4ZZ

UNSPSC 85481511, Extirpation of matter from femoral nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for removal of material from the femoral nerve, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical nerve procedures. The mismatch between the code's clinical definition and the scope of actual solicitations indicates that state and local procurement systems are tagging healthcare administrative and occupational health services with a surgical procedure code, likely due to miscoding or taxonomy application errors in the issuing systems.

Recent activity spans diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System, with geographic concentration in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (response due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (response due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing services establishing a qualified vendor pool (response due October 7, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent procurement activity for the surgical procedure it nominally describes; business development professionals should verify code accuracy with state procurement contacts before pursuing opportunities posted under this classification.
