UNSPSC 85481515: Release femoral nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 01ND4ZZ

UNSPSC 85481515 Release femoral nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity under this code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical Center of Excellence carve-out benefits (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), specialty and emergency healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara)—do not align with the orthopedic surgical procedure the code nominally describes. None of these solicitations reference percutaneous endoscopic femoral nerve release, neurosurgical intervention, or related surgical procedures.

The mismatch suggests that either the tagging of these opportunities under this UNSPSC code is incorrect, or the code itself does not reflect the actual procurement activity occurring in state and local healthcare systems. State and local buyers soliciting medical services—whether disability evaluation, Centers of Excellence networks, occupational health surveillance, detention facility care, pharmacy management, or temporary clinical staffing—do not appear to use this code meaningfully. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC classification for healthcare services procurement in their target jurisdictions and confirm whether this code reflects usable buying patterns before allocating pursuit resources.
