UNSPSC 85481529: Transfer sciatic nerve to femoral nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer sciatic nerve to 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 01XF4ZD

UNSPSC 85481529 Transfer sciatic nerve to femoral nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical nerve-transfer procedure, yet the most recent opportunities posted under this classification concern occupational medical surveillance, disability benefit medical record review, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve the procedural intervention named in the code. State and local buyers posting solicitations have tagged them inconsistently; the code appears to capture a range of health-related services and benefit administration rather than orthopedic or neurological surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities span Arizona (Phoenix Retirement Office seeking disability medical record summarization and independent medical examinations), California (Long Beach seeking surgical benefit carve-out networks for Centers of Excellence; Santa Clara County Health System seeking temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories), Washington (Department of Transportation seeking occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Florida (Collier County seeking pharmacy benefit management services), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issuing an RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth). The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county commissioners and health systems, a state transportation department, and county probation departments. A pre-bid conference was held for the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (October 9, 2026 response deadline); the Phoenix Retirement Office seeks proposals due October 16, 2026 for independent medical evaluation services at $750,000 over five years; Long Beach seeks surgical benefit carve-out proposals due October 7, 2026; and Santa Clara County seeks temporary staffing pool qualifications due October 7, 2026. The code's use in state and local procurement appears to reflect misclassification or administrative tagging error rather than intentional procurement under a specific surgical procedure code.
