UNSPSC 85481769: Extraction of sacral plexus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of sacral 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 01DQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481769 Extraction of sacral plexus, open approach is a Commodity code whose title does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local activity. The code shows no relevant procurement activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope; instead, recent opportunities posted under this code involve healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platform services, peer support programs, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve extraction of anatomical structures or surgical procedures.

The mismatch between the code's medical-procedure name and the healthcare-service opportunities tagged to it indicates either a classification error in the state and local procurement systems using this code or a fundamental misalignment in how the code has been applied. No concrete evidence supports that state and local governments are soliciting surgical extraction services under this code at present. The recent opportunities — Columbus Consolidated Government's inmate medical and pharmacy services contract (RFP due May 15, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services (RFP due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services (RFP due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's peer support pilot program ($580,000 MHSA Innovation project), and Santa Monica Fire Department's medical director services (RFP due October 16, 2025) — represent diverse healthcare procurement across county, municipal, and special-district issuing bodies in Florida, Georgia, California, and elsewhere, but none of them entail the surgical or procedural work the code name specifies. Until state and local procurement offices correctly classify healthcare-service opportunities under appropriate UNSPSC codes, this code will remain a poor targeting mechanism for vendors pursuing genuine contract opportunities in this space.
