This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of neurostimulator lead in peripheral nerve, external 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 01WYXMZ

UNSPSC 85481609 Revision of neurostimulator lead in peripheral nerve, external approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical implant procedure, yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code reflect no alignment with neurostimulator devices or peripheral nerve surgery. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical evaluations, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth — a collection of administrative and clinical staffing services entirely unrelated to the neurostimulator lead revision procedure named in the code. The code shows little relevant recent activity for the work its title suggests; the mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement intent indicates this code may be incorrectly applied by issuing bodies or may reflect data-entry error rather than deliberate categorization.

Issuing bodies across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington are posting health services opportunities that happen to be tagged to this code: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for disability medical record summary and independent medical evaluation), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical center-of-excellence carve-out benefits), the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing). None of these opportunities involve neurostimulator devices, peripheral nerve procedures, or related implant revision work. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for its intended scope and either pursue opportunities under more appropriate UNSPSC classifications or seek clarification from issuing bodies on code assignment before committing resources to pursuit strategy.
