UNSPSC 85481741: Excision of lumbar plexus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of lumbar plexus, 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 01B90ZZ

UNSPSC 85481741 "Excision of lumbar plexus, open approach" is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluation services, and surgical center-of-excellence carve-outs—none of which involve the neurosurgical procedure named in the code itself. The mismatch suggests either classification error at the source or use of this code as a catch-all placeholder for health services procurement by state and local agencies that may not have granular clinical procedure codes available in their contracting systems.

The issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries), multiple 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, City of Long Beach). The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for personnel across 14 ferry terminals; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) at $750,000 over five years for disability benefit determinations; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP (due October 7, 2026) for Centers of Excellence networks; and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners' pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026) for approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending. Given the code's nominal scope and the absence of surgical procedure-specific solicitations in the recent-opportunities record, this code shows little relevant procurement signal for firms specializing in the named procedure.
