UNSPSC 85481782: Release 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 01NQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481782 Release sacral plexus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it encompass occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for detained youth — none of which involve sacral plexus release. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the state and local procurement system or that the code has been repurposed to capture a broader family of healthcare administration and benefit management services.

The recent solicitation activity spans state departments, county health systems, county probation agencies, and city retirement and HR offices across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026, centered on disability medical record summary and physician examination coordination for pension board determinations (maximum $750,000 over five years). The City of Long Beach is requesting proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits due October 7, 2026, targeting Centers of Excellence networks for approximately 3,800 employees and retirees. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026, requiring board-certified occupational physicians to conduct baseline and periodic examinations across 14 ferry system locations. Collier County Commissioners solicited pharmacy benefit management services due April 9, 2026 (deadline superseded as of this date), with historical annual spending near $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued a non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary ancillary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026. Given the code's nominal scope versus actual buying patterns, pursuit should focus on confirming whether the issuing agency has intentionally applied this code to healthcare administration work or whether misclassification is driving the result.
