UNSPSC 85481813 Reposition lumbar nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under this category in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this code involve comprehensive healthcare services delivery — inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which align with the surgical procedure named in the code itself. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific orthopedic surgical procedure) and the health services procurement actually tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding or that this code is being used as a catch-all for health services contracts outside traditional medical specialties.

Activity under this code is geographically dispersed across Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), and California (San Mateo County), with recent RFPs spanning February through May 2026. The issuing bodies include county commissioners' offices, county health departments, and municipal fire departments. Representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's May 15, 2026 RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (annual contract with two-year base plus three one-year renewal options, current monthly cost $95,537.71, management-fee-plus-pass-through pharmacy model), Collier County's April 9, 2026 RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 7,200 covered lives (three-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals, historical annual pharmacy spending approximately $8.7 million), Monroe County's April 16, 2026 RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services covering approximately 2,300 county members (effective October 1, 2026, two-year initial term plus one optional two-year renewal), and San Mateo County's July 2, 2025 RFP for peer support services for peer workers ($580,000 total funding over three years). The code shows no recent opportunities that genuinely require specialized surgical expertise, making it unsuitable for firms providing orthopedic or neurosurgical services.
