This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of lumbar sympathetic 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 019N00Z

UNSPSC 85481733 Drainage of lumbar sympathetic nerve with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal medical-procedure scope does not align with recent state and local procurement activity posted under the code. The source contains six recent state and local opportunities, none of which involve lumbar sympathetic nerve drainage or related surgical procedures. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and surgical center-of-excellence networks. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose or health system entities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, County of Santa Clara Health System). This pattern suggests the code may have been applied to opportunities outside its intended scope or that the code itself is rarely used for its nominal purpose in state and local procurement.

Recent opportunities have appeared in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington between July and September 2026, with response dates extending through October. Representative solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring physician-led examinations across 14 ferry locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, total contract value $750,000 over five years) to support pension disability determinations for approximately 75 annual applications; the City of Long Beach's surgery benefit carve-out RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) covering Centers of Excellence networks for knee, hip, orthopedic, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishing a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories. The code shows no activity aligned with its stated procedure description and warrants review for correct code assignment if procurement interest lies in surgical-intervention categories.
