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 01BB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481743 Excision of lumbar nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not align with that scope. The opportunities instead reflect procurement for comprehensive healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support programs, and medical director services — none of which involve lumbar nerve excision or surgical procedures matching the code's description. This mismatch suggests either misclassification by issuing bodies or that the code is used as a catch-all for health services contracting outside its intended surgical scope.

The issuing bodies posting under this code include county governments and special-purpose health districts: Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (California). Geographic activity centers on Florida and California, with isolated activity in Georgia and limited evidence of broader state or multi-jurisdictional solicitation. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison with a current monthly cost of $95,537.71; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026, due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million; and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members. Because the code does not reflect actual procurement intent under these opportunities, bid pursuit decisions should rely on geographic and issuing-body identification rather than code accuracy.
