UNSPSC 85481740: Drainage of sacral nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 019R0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481740 Drainage of sacral nerve, open approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal clinical scope and the state and local opportunities tagged under it. Recent solicitations target occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve sacral nerve drainage or surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope describes a specific neurosurgical intervention, yet the recent posting pattern reflects a broader category of occupational health services, medical administration, and staffing procurement that bears no direct relationship to the procedure name. This suggests either a tagging error in the state and local procurement data or mission creep in how the code is being applied across jurisdictions. The issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara), county procurement offices (Collier County), municipal retirement boards (Phoenix), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), and cities (Long Beach). No standout repeat buyer emerges from the limited set of recent opportunities.

Geographic activity spans Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State. The Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (RFP20260825), due October 9, 2026, and the City of Phoenix Retirement Office independent medical evaluation services RFP (RTMRFP26001), due October 16, 2026, are the most recent opportunities closest to occupational or administrative medical services. The lack of true clinical-procedure-aligned solicitations and the dominance of administrative health services, staffing, and benefit management work suggest this code carries minimal relevance for firms pursuing state and local medical device, surgical supply, or procedure-specific contracts.
