UNSPSC 85481709: Destruction of sacral plexus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of sacral plexus, open 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 015Q0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481709 Destruction of sacral plexus, open approach is a Commodity code whose abstract clinical name bears no relationship to the state and local procurement opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent solicitations indexed to this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, specialty and emergency medical care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve destruction of sacral plexus or any neurosurgical procedure. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the opportunities posted under it reflect general medical services, benefit administration, and clinical staffing, which are fundamentally misaligned with the code's nominal scope.

No state or local procurement activity directly matching the code's surgical procedure definition appears in the recent opportunities block. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluations (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-outs (due October 7, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services, Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management, and Santa Clara Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing are all tagged to this code but address administrative health services, benefits management, and clinical staffing rather than neurosurgical intervention. This tagging mismatch suggests either a classification error in the state and local procurement databases or a broad and inappropriate mapping of medical-service codes. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for its stated clinical scope and verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities in state and local healthcare procurement.
