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 01DF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481765 Extraction of sciatic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the six recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension determinations, surgical carve-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve sciatic nerve extraction or operative orthopedic surgery. The mismatch suggests either upstream classification error or use of the code as a catch-all within participating jurisdictions' procurement systems for medical and health services broadly.

No state and local solicitations currently posted under this code align with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities indicate that jurisdictions issuing health and medical services RFPs (the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System) are not procuring surgical extraction services or operative procedures. Firms pursuing this code should verify classification in source systems before investing business development effort, as the current activity does not support a coherent procurement pattern around sciatic nerve surgery.
