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 01QB0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481803 Repair lumbar nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes surgical intervention on spinal nerves, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code bear no substantive relationship to that scope. The five recent solicitations span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — none of which involve lumbar nerve repair or surgical procedures. State and local procurement offices have tagged these opportunities with this code despite the clear mismatch between the code's intended meaning and the actual work being bought. The code shows little relevant recent activity in its nominal scope.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities include a county consolidated government (Muscogee County, Georgia), a county board of commissioners (Collier County, Florida), a county health department (Monroe County, Florida), a county behavioral health services agency (San Mateo County, California), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026) and the Collier County pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026), though neither aligns with the stated commodity code scope. The misalignment between code taxonomy and actual procurement intent makes this code a poor indicator of current market activity in lumbar nerve repair or related surgical services at the state and local level.
