UNSPSC 85481725: Drainage of lumbar nerve with drainage device, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of lumbar nerve with drainage device, 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 019B00Z

UNSPSC 85481725 Drainage of lumbar nerve with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the recent opportunities posted under this classification. The few state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code involve independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs. None of these solicitations concern the drainage of lumbar nerve procedures or related implantable medical devices that would fall within the code's clinical definition. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent code assignment by issuing bodies or that this particular procedure code is not actively procured through formal state and local solicitations.

The opportunities present across multiple jurisdictions and procurement types—the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluations), Collier County (RFP for pharmacy benefit management), the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP for occupational medical surveillance), the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFQ for temporary health professional staffing), the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services), and Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for emergency and specialty medical services)—but none target orthopedic device procurement or neurosurgical implants. Firms considering this code should treat it as inactive for recent state and local business development purposes and monitor for future activity that more directly aligns with the code's stated scope.
