UNSPSC 85481752: Extirpation of matter from lumbosacral plexus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from lumbosacral 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 01CA0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481752 Extirpation of matter from lumbosacral plexus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The opportunities tagged to this code span occupational medical examinations, disability medical record review and summarization, surgical benefit carve-outs for government employee health plans, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which represent surgical procedures targeting the lumbosacral plexus or related operative spine work. The issuing bodies include city retirement systems, state transportation agencies, county health systems, county probation departments, and county human resources offices. The code reports no meaningful recent activity in actual neurosurgical or orthopedic spine services that would logically fall under extirpation of lumbosacral plexus matter; the postings instead reflect administrative health benefit procurement and occupational health screening unrelated to operative intervention.

The geographic spread of the recent opportunities spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive vendor pool solicitation for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The mismatch between the code's surgical nomenclature and the scope of work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code does not reflect active state and local purchasing in spine or neurosurgical services at this time.
