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 015F0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481705 Destruction of sciatic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—none of which involve destruction of sciatic nerve procedures or orthopedic surgery procurement at the state and local level. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the actual work being solicited indicates either a systematic tagging error in the underlying procurement database or that this code does not represent an active procurement category for state and local government entities.

State and local buyers do procure medical services broadly—the recent opportunities show counties, cities, and health systems soliciting occupational medicine, pharmacy administration, medical staffing, and disability evaluation services—but they do not appear to be tagging surgical procedure codes as the vehicle for those procurements. If your firm delivers surgical services to state and local health systems or occupational health programs, search recent opportunities under broader health-services families rather than this narrowly defined procedure code.
