UNSPSC 85481777: Release pudendal nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release pudendal nerve, 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 01NC0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481777 Release pudendal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are purchasing under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged to this code show little or no alignment with surgical nerve-release procedures; instead, the code is being applied to occupational health surveillance, medical evaluation services, and health plan administration spanning pension board disability determinations, workers' compensation examinations, workplace occupational medicine, and specialty surgical benefit carve-outs. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county commissioners' procurement offices. This mismatch suggests either data-entry error in the tagging system or systematic misclassification of health administration and occupational medicine services under a surgical code.

The source shows no recent opportunities genuinely soliciting nerve-release or comparable surgical procedures. Instead, representative recent procurement includes the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and scheduling of independent medical examinations for approximately 75 annual pension applications at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requiring examinations by physicians board-certified in occupational medicine; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing services (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) across 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, cardiology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical/operating room services. Geographic activity spans Arizona, Washington State, California, and Florida. The code as currently classified carries minimal decision-relevance for firms pursuing surgical services work; prospective bidders should verify the correct UNSPSC family or class codes for health administration and occupational medicine before investing in pursuit strategy.
