UNSPSC 85481968: Extraction of sacral sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of sacral 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 01DP3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481968 Extraction of sacral sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical procedure scope. The five most-recent opportunities tagged under this code in the source—covering inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction—do not involve sacral sympathetic nerve extraction or percutaneous neurological interventions. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding of opportunities within state and local procurement systems or a code that does not track meaningful procurement volume at the state and local level. No relevant recent opportunities support a go/no-go decision to pursue work under this code's nominal scope.

State and local governments procure healthcare administration, management, and service delivery far more commonly than they purchase specialized surgical procedures. When state and local bodies do solicit medical services—as evidenced by recent RFPs from Muscogee County (inmate medical and pharmacy), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), Monroe County (virtual primary and urgent care), San Mateo County (peer support services), and Santa Monica Fire Department (medical direction)—they typically award contracts for ongoing program management, staffing, technology platforms, or administrative oversight rather than individual procedures. The code itself appears misapplied to the state and local procurement market.
