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 recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The five recent opportunities posted between February and April 2026 that appear under this code classify as inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical nerve extraction or open surgical procedures. The mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in how state and local procurement offices tagged these opportunities or that the code has been repurposed in practice to cover broader healthcare contracting activity unrelated to the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes.

The issuing bodies across the recent postings span county government (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida; San Mateo County in California) and municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department in California), with no state-level opportunities visible. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and California, with one Georgia posting. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (response due May 15, 2026, with current monthly cost of $95,537.71 under incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC) and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million (response due April 9, 2026). Given the fundamental disconnect between the code's stated scope and the work actually being procured, this code is not a reliable guide for pursuing state and local opportunities in surgical services or procedures.
