UNSPSC 85481819: Supplement lumbar nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement lumbar nerve with autologous tissue substitute, 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 01UB07Z

UNSPSC 85481819 Supplement lumbar nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally designates a specific surgical procedure, but the most recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it bear no meaningful relationship to spinal nerve supplementation. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support programs for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services — a heterogeneous collection of healthcare administration, managed care, and clinical support contracts that do not align with the code's surgical procedure scope. The issuing bodies include county corrections departments (Muscogee County, Georgia), county commissioners' offices (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), county health departments (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). This tagging pattern suggests either a systematic miscoding at source or a data quality issue within the state and local procurement systems using this UNSPSC code.

The geographic spread reflects solicitation activity across Georgia, Florida, and California through early 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services RFP (due May 15, 2026) for approximately 576 inmates across medical intake, chronic care, emergency referrals, and pharmacy management; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026) covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual pharmacy spend of approximately $8.7 million; and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (due April 16, 2026) for 2,300 members with an October 1, 2026 effective date. The mismatch between code definition and opportunity scope makes this code unreliable for targeting surgical-procedure procurement. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC designation before pursuing these healthcare administration and managed-care opportunities.
