UNSPSC 85481520: Reposition tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 01SG4ZZ

UNSPSC 85481520 Reposition tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes an orthopedic surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows no alignment with that clinical description. Instead, the opportunities solicited under the code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, and surgical carve-out networks for municipal employee health plans. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), cities (Phoenix Retirement Office, Long Beach), and regional health systems. The work being solicited reflects administrative and operational health services — benefits management, staffing, and medical examinations — rather than direct surgical procedures.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and service lines. The Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 Washington locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office requested independent disability medical evaluation services for fire and police pension applicants (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach solicited a surgical carve-out benefit program for its Anthem PPO plan serving approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Collier County sought pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with historical spending near $8.7 million annually (RFP 25-8414), Santa Clara County Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (071626BNM, due September 25, 2026). The code shows recent activity concentrated in California, Washington, Arizona, and Texas; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests this classification reflects either a data-entry error or a state-local taxonomy variant that diverges significantly from standard UNSPSC clinical definitions.
