This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division 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 018N3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481917 Division of lumbar sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal clinical scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical nerve procedures; instead, they reflect a broad range of healthcare administration, occupational medicine, pharmacy benefit management, and clinical staffing services that fall outside the code's stated definition and suggest a data-classification or tagging error in the underlying procurement records.

The source supports no recent solicitations for lumbar sympathetic nerve division procedures or percutaneous interventional pain management services from state and local governments. Opportunities appearing under this code include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees (RFP 25-8414), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and Santa Clara County Health System's qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing. The geographic spread of recent postings spans Arizona, Washington, California, Florida, and Texas. Business development professionals should verify code assignment with procurement offices before pursuing opportunities under this code, as the recent activity does not reflect the percutaneous interventional procedures the code nominally describes.
