UNSPSC 85481926: Drainage of lumbar nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 019B3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481926 Drainage of lumbar nerve, percutaneous approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific clinical procedure, but recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not involve lumbar nerve drainage or percutaneous procedures; instead, they span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for public safety pension systems, pharmacy benefit management, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and temporary health professional staffing. The mismatch suggests either code misapplication in the source data or that this Commodity code does not reflect actual state and local buying patterns in the current market.

The recent opportunities posted under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies—city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, county juvenile detention authorities, and county procurement offices—across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services to support disability pension determinations, due October 16, 2026; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance at Washington State Ferries across 14 locations, due October 9, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052) for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. The code does not reflect meaningful procurement activity in the stated scope and should not be used as a primary search or pursuit indicator.
