UNSPSC 85481787: Removal of neurostimulator lead from peripheral nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to removal of neurostimulator lead from peripheral 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 01PY0MZ

UNSPSC 85481787 Removal of neurostimulator lead from peripheral nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that reflects a specific surgical procedure; however, state and local procurement activity under this code shows no recent relevant solicitation. The six recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, surgery benefit carve-out programs for city employees, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for youth in detention, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve neurostimulator lead removal or the orthopedic surgical services the code nominally describes. The mismatch suggests the code may have been applied incorrectly by issuing bodies or their procurement systems when tagging these health-care and benefits administration opportunities.

State and local procurement under this code, as currently tagged, reflects administrative healthcare sourcing rather than surgical procedure procurement. Issuing bodies include county health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), county government (Collier County Board of Commissioners, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), city governments (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans California, Arizona, Florida, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for surgical procedure work and verify the correct UNSPSC classification for neurostimulator-related services before pursuing procurement under 85481787.
