UNSPSC 85481738, Drainage of sacral plexus, open approach, is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with that medical taxonomy. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, health plan surgical benefit carve-outs, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve sacral plexus drainage or any surgical procedure. The mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being solicited suggests this code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously by issuing bodies, rendering it an unreliable indicator of procurement intent.

Geographic activity is scattered across Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach and County of Santa Clara), Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, total maximum compensation $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026, two-year term with optional five additional one-year extensions), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's multiple-award staffing qualification vehicle (RFQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). The code sees minimal and misdirected activity; business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for opportunities of interest rather than rely on this code's labeling.
