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 01NR0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481783 Release sacral nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity tagged to this code shows no alignment with surgical intervention. Instead, the opportunities solicited under the code span occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, surgical carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence networks, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical roles. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), with activity spanning both healthcare delivery procurement and benefits administration. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and the work actually being bought suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or deployment of this code as a catch-all for healthcare services without regard to specificity.

Recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most concrete examples spanning the last two months. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 (due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP RFP20260825 (due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals, requiring examinations by a physician board-certified in occupational medicine. The City of Long Beach issued RFP HR26753 (due October 7, 2026) for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out program through Centers of Excellence networks serving approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees. Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 county employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical spending around $8.7 million annually. The County of Santa Clara Health System issued a non-exclusive, multiple-award RFSQ (due October 7, 2026) to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories including audiology, radiology, respiratory care, and surgical services. This code shows active procurement volume but with fragmented scope and widespread geographic spread; the absence of surgical procedure delivery in actual opportunities signals either low state and local demand for acute surgical services under this particular code or systematic coding error.
