UNSPSC 85481973: Inspection of peripheral nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to inspection of peripheral 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 01JY3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481973 Inspection of peripheral nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code under which state and local governments solicit healthcare services that do not consistently match the nominal clinical procedure. Recent opportunities show that issuing bodies are primarily county and municipal health systems, detention facilities, and fire departments procuring comprehensive medical administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support services, and emergency medical direction rather than specific peripheral nerve diagnostic procedures. The mix of soliciting bodies spans county commissions (Collier County, Monroe County), consolidated municipal governments (Columbus, Georgia), county behavioral health agencies (San Mateo County), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica). Work scoped under this code includes inmate medical and pharmacy services for correctional facilities, county pharmacy benefit management covering thousands of employees and dependents, virtual primary and urgent care services delivered remotely, peer support programs for behavioral health workers, and medical director services for emergency medical systems. The code shows little alignment between its nominal scope and the healthcare administration and service delivery activities actually being purchased.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida, Georgia, and California. Representative opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, posted April 15, 2026, with proposals due May 15, 2026, covering medical intake, sick call, chronic care, emergency referrals, pharmacy services, and laboratory work for approximately 576 inmates; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering roughly 7,200 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending near $8.7 million, posted April 9, 2026; and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services serving 2,300 county members with proposals due April 16, 2026 and contract effective October 1, 2026. The code appears to serve as a catch-all category for healthcare procurement rather than a specific procedure-focused commodity, signaling potential misclassification or systemic tagging misalignment in state and local procurement systems.
