UNSPSC 85481720: Division of sacral nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of sacral nerve, 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 018R0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481720 Division of sacral nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local opportunities recently posted under this classification. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet the recent solicitations tagged to it reflect procurement of occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefit programs — none of which involve direct surgical nerve division. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to health services contracting opportunities, or that state and local procurement offices are using the code to classify administrative healthcare services that fall outside its surgical scope. The opportunities do share a common thread: state and local health plans and personnel systems purchasing clinical evaluation, staffing, and benefits management services rather than surgical interventions themselves.

The issuing bodies include a state department of transportation (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), and cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office on behalf of pension boards, City of Long Beach). Recent solicitations span Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Bidders evaluating this code should verify that posted opportunities align with their service offerings before responding, as the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity do not align.
