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 018F0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481715 Division of sciatic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent solicitations tagged under this code reflect health-benefit administration and occupational medical surveillance services—medical evaluation, pharmacy management, health plan design, and employee health screening—rather than surgical interventions themselves. State and local governments soliciting under this code include city retirement offices, county health systems, county commissioners, and state transportation departments. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with a long tail across additional states. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or a data-quality issue that limits this code's utility as a market signal.

Representative recent activity includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determination (RTMRFP26001, response due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP20260825, response due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara County's solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, response due October 7, 2026). A Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits and Collier County's PBM services RFP (response due April 9, 2026, estimated annual spending $8.7 million) round out the visible activity. Given the code's poor alignment with what state and local agencies are actually buying, pursuit decisions should not rely on this code alone; cross-referencing with related health-care or administrative-services codes is advisable.
