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 01NF0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481778 Release sciatic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities currently posted under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect clinical and administrative healthcare services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — rather than the orthopedic surgical procedure named in the code. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or the code's use as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare service categories that state and local agencies are actively procuring but for which no more specific taxonomy match exists in real-time issuing systems.

The issuing bodies pursuing healthcare services include county corrections departments, county human resources and benefits divisions, county boards of commissioners, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. No standout repeat buyers appear across the five recent opportunities; each represents a distinct jurisdiction and service line. Georgia's Muscogee County Prison (via Columbus Consolidated Government) issued an RFP due May 15, 2026, for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services covering approximately 576 offenders under an annual contract at current cost of $95,537.71 per month. Collier County, Florida issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 2,400 county employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million and proposals due April 9, 2026. Monroe County, Florida sought virtual primary care and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members in an RFP due April 16, 2026. San Mateo County, California issued an RFP for peer support services for peer workers under a Mental Health Services Act innovation pilot with total funding of $580,000. Santa Monica Fire Department sought an EMS medical director in an RFP closed October 16, 2025. Given the disconnect between the code name and actual recent solicitation activity, firms should clarify with procurement offices whether this code reflects active or legacy classification before building a pursuit strategy.
