UNSPSC 85481830: Transfer sciatic nerve to sciatic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer sciatic nerve to sciatic 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 01XF0ZF

UNSPSC 85481830 Transfer sciatic nerve to sciatic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical nerve-transfer procedure; however, the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not align with orthopedic or surgical services. Instead, the opportunities reflect procurement of comprehensive healthcare administration and clinical services — including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction. The mismatch suggests either a data classification error or that this code is being misapplied to healthcare service procurement more broadly. The issuing bodies span county governments (Muscogee County Georgia, Collier County Florida, Monroe County Florida, and Santa Monica California) and county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County California), indicating county-level healthcare administration and contracting as the primary buyer profile.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (two opportunities: Collier County and Monroe County) and California (one opportunity: San Mateo County), with a single Georgia procurement (Muscogee County). Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, with current monthly cost of $95,537.71 under the incumbent CorrectHealth Companies LLC), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual spending around $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code shows no recent activity aligned with actual surgical or orthopedic nerve-transfer procedures; procurement professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for surgical services or confirm whether this code reflects a systemic miscoding issue in the issuing jurisdictions' taxonomy systems.
