This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to revision of neurostimulator lead in 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 01WY0MZ

UNSPSC 85481827 Revision of neurostimulator lead in peripheral nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect neurostimulator or peripheral nerve work. Instead, the tagged opportunities span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical carve-out benefits for public employees, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. The code shows little alignment between its nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually soliciting under it, suggesting either misclassification in individual notices or use of the code as a catch-all medical services category at the commodity level.

Activity appears across multiple state and local jurisdictions: the City of Phoenix (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and Santa Clara County Health System (California). Recent solicitations include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFQ due October 9, 2026 (baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for ferry workers across 14 locations); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 ($750,000 over five years); the City of Long Beach's surgical carve-out benefit program RFP due October 7, 2026; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (approximately $8.7 million annually in historical spend); and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification pool due October 7, 2026. Given the mismatch between the code's surgical device descriptor and the actual procurement work being tagged, firms pursuing this code should verify code accuracy in individual RFPs and treat this category as active but operationally misaligned with its nominal definition.
