UNSPSC 85481751 Extirpation of matter from lumbar plexus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal medical-surgical scope and the recent state and local opportunities posted under it. The six most recent opportunities posted under this code encompass independent medical evaluations for disability pension determinations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical procedure carve-out networks for municipal employees, specialty medical services for youth in custody, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which describe neurosurgical extirpation of lumbar plexus matter or open surgical approaches. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county jurisdictions (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), and special-purpose health systems (Santa Clara Health System). This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated surgical procedure taxonomy.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP due October 16, 2026, for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations for approximately 75 annual applications, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries, posted an RFQ due October 9, 2026, for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry locations, with cost-based scoring (40 percent pricing, 60 percent capability). Collier County Board of County Commissioners posted an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 enrolled employees with historical annual spending of approximately $8.7 million and a contract term of three years with two optional one-year renewals. The mismatch between the code's surgical taxonomy and the administrative healthcare and staffing services actually being solicited suggests this code may be incorrectly tagged in state and local procurement systems or carries little genuine procurement activity in its intended scope.
