UNSPSC 85481951 Extirpation of matter from lumbar plexus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth—none of which relate to percutaneous lumbar plexus procedures or any surgical intervention. State and local issuing bodies in the recent record include county retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal transit authorities (Washington State Ferries), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and a city health system (Long Beach), but the code appears to have been applied inconsistently or incorrectly to administrative medical services, benefits contracting, and staffing procurement rather than to the clinical procedure the code nominally describes.

The source provides no recent opportunities that actually solicit percutaneous lumbar plexus extirpation services or related orthopedic or pain-management procedures from state or local governments. The mismatch between the code's clinical scope and the broad administrative and staffing services tagged to it suggests either classification error in the posting systems or that this code does not reflect current state and local procurement practice. Buyers evaluating this code should treat the posted opportunities as having limited relevance to the code's stated clinical function and should rely on direct market research or RFP keyword searches for genuine opportunities in orthopedic spine intervention services.
