UNSPSC 85481969: Extraction of sacral plexus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of sacral 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 01DQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481969 Extraction of sacral plexus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment with actual state and local procurement activity in the source records. The code nominally describes a surgical neurological procedure, but the five recent opportunities posted by state and local issuing bodies reflect procurement of health plan administration, inmate medical services, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve extraction of neural tissue or percutaneous procedural intervention. The mismatch indicates either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged to this code or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the issuing bodies' classification practices in this domain.

The recent opportunities instead reflect a diverse mix of health services purchasing across county and city jurisdictions in Georgia, Florida, and California, with issuing bodies including correctional facilities (Muscogee County Prison via Columbus Consolidated Government), county employee health benefit programs (Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Monroe County Board of County Commissioners), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County Health), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica Fire Department). The activities range from annual inmate medical and pharmacy services contracts (Columbus, RFP 26-0008, due May 15, 2026) to pharmacy benefit management spanning 7,200 covered lives with approximately $8.7 million annual spending (Collier County RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026) to virtual primary and urgent care procurement for 2,300 Monroe County members (RFP 628, due April 16, 2026). This code does not represent a viable procurement category for business development under the stated scope and should not guide pursuit activity without clarification from the issuing bodies about their actual coding intent.
