UNSPSC 85481947: Excision of lumbar sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 01BN3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481947 Excision of lumbar sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not match the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code instead span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability benefits, pharmacy benefit management, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and temporary health professional staffing. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated procedural scope. The issuing bodies are diverse—a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach)—but the mismatch between the code name and the work being bought suggests the code is being applied inconsistently or incorrectly across these jurisdictions rather than representing a genuine procurement category for this surgical procedure at the state and local level.

The geographic spread spans Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas, with no concentration in any single region. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance services for ferry system workers (RFP20260825, proposals due October 9, 2026), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services for disability pension applications (RTMRFP26001, proposals due October 16, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, proposals due October 7, 2026). Given the fundamental misalignment between the code's procedural definition and the actual procurement activity, this code does not represent a reliable vehicle for pursuing work related to lumbar sympathetic nerve excision or related surgical services in the state and local market.
