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 01NH0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481779 Release peroneal nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to the state and local procurement activity currently visible in recent solicitations. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving peroneal nerve release, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve orthopedic surgery or nerve release procedures. This mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or a divergence between the code's intended scope and its use in practice. The recent opportunities show state and local governments purchasing clinical services, medical administration, and healthcare network management rather than surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies across the six recent opportunities include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and commissioners offices (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, County of Santa Clara Health System), cities (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach), and retirement boards operating under public-sector governance. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026 with a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026 with a two-year initial term and option to extend for up to five additional one-year terms; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing services due October 7, 2026. The code shows little relevant recent activity and appears misaligned with its nominal surgical scope.
