UNSPSC 85481781: Release sacral sympathetic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release sacral sympathetic 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 01NP0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481781 Release sacral sympathetic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a surgical procedure targeting the sacral sympathetic nerve—does not match the six recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. Those opportunities span disability medical evaluation services, surgical benefit carve-outs for health plans, occupational medical surveillance, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing. None involve the surgical procedure the code describes. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with 85481781 in error or as a fallback classification; the code does not reflect substantive recent buying activity in its intended domain.

The recent opportunities instead cluster around administrative healthcare services, benefit program management, and staffing—activities that fall outside this code's surgical scope. The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (Phoenix), a municipal health department (Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county health system (Collier County and Santa Clara County), representing a mix of state departments, counties, and municipal entities. Geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Buyers show no pattern of repeat procurement under this code, and the opportunities carry no signal of future volume or strategic investment in sacral sympathetic nerve release procedures at the state and local level. Unless your firm pursues healthcare staffing, benefit management, or medical administration contracts, this code warrants monitoring only to confirm whether the classification error persists or resolves.
