UNSPSC 85481961: Extraction of lumbar plexus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of lumbar plexus, 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 01D93ZZ

UNSPSC 85481961 Extraction of lumbar plexus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure—percutaneous extraction of the lumbar plexus—yet the recent opportunities tagged under it involve general healthcare services management, pharmacy benefit administration, virtual primary care, peer mental health support, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations concern orthopedic or neurological surgical procedures, lumbar plexus extraction, or percutaneous interventions. The mismatch suggests a tagging or taxonomy error in the underlying procurement data rather than genuine demand for the service the code describes.

The issuing bodies across these four opportunities include a municipal consolidated government (Columbus), two county boards of commissioners (Collier County and Monroe County in Florida), a county behavioral health department (San Mateo County), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). The geographic spread spans Georgia, Florida, and California, with no clustering that would indicate concentrated regional demand. The opportunities posted between February and April 2026 with response dates ranging from April through October 2025, reflect general municipal and county healthcare contracting activity—employee health plan management, behavioral health services, virtual care platforms, and medical oversight—none of which map to the percutaneous lumbar plexus extraction procedure the code nominally designates. State and local procurement does not appear to use this Commodity code meaningfully for its stated scope.
