This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement sciatic 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 01UF07Z

UNSPSC 85481821 Supplement sciatic nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records but does not reflect the actual work being solicited under recent opportunities tagged with this code. The recent contract opportunities posted under this UNSPSC designation cover prison and jail medical services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve orthopedic surgical procedures or nerve supplementation. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (a specific surgical intervention) and the actual solicitations suggests that state and local procurement systems may have applied this code incorrectly or that the code has been repurposed in practice to span a broader range of health services contracting.

The issuing bodies include county corrections departments (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia), county human resources and health benefit consortiums (Collier County, Florida), county employee health plans (Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health divisions (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Opportunities are concentrated in Florida and Georgia in the most recent cycle, with California activity visible in behavioral health and municipal services. Because the code does not meaningfully correspond to the work being bought, no reliable pattern emerges around geographic concentration or issuing-body type. Representatives of the recent solicitations include RFP 26-0008 from Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (Georgia) for inmate medical and pharmacy services due May 15, 2026; RFP 25-8414 from Collier County Procurement Services (Florida) for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members, closed April 9, 2026; and Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members due April 16, 2026. Given the code-content mismatch, firms pursuing state and local health services contracts should verify actual UNSPSC tagging in solicitation systems rather than relying on this code's nominal description.
