UNSPSC 85481907: Destruction of lumbar sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of lumbar sympathetic nerve, percutaneous 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 015N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481907 Destruction of lumbar sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific invasive medical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under it span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, pension disability medical evaluations, surgical carve-out networks, emergency medical services for youth in detention, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve lumbar sympathetic nerve destruction. The mismatch suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or drift between the code's technical definition and how procurement systems tag health service solicitations.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (pension boards), the City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation (ferries division), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (RFP 26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years); Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (RFP 20260825, due October 9, 2026); and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code does not show recent activity that aligns meaningfully with the procedure it nominally describes.
