UNSPSC 85481913: Division of lumbar nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of lumbar 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 018B3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481913, Division of lumbar nerve, percutaneous approach (Commodity), shows little relevant recent activity under this code. The six most recent state and local opportunities tagged to this Commodity span occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out administration (City of Long Beach), temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (County of Santa Clara Health System), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department). None of these solicitations solicit or reference lumbar nerve division or percutaneous neurosurgical procedures; they address occupational health programs, pension benefit administration, employee health benefits, staffing pools, pharmacy services, and youth detention healthcare. The code's nominal scope—a specific spinal surgical procedure—does not align with the actual work state and local governments are buying under this tag.

The mismatch suggests either miscategorization in the source data or that this Commodity code is inactive for state and local procurement. No recent state and local opportunities solicit surgical services, surgeon credentials, procedural supplies, or clinical outcomes measurement related to lumbar nerve division. Buyers in this space—state departments of transportation, city retirement boards, county health systems, and county commissioners—do not currently use this code to procure the work its name describes. Practitioners should verify coding against actual opportunity scope before pursuing activity tagged to UNSPSC 85481913.
