UNSPSC 85481978: Release sciatic 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 01NF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481978 Release sciatic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under this classification in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary care and urgent care services, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical director services—none of which involve orthopedic or neurological procedures. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the health care administration, employee benefits management, and behavioral health services that state and local issuing bodies are actually buying and tagging to it. This appears to be a data classification error rather than a reflection of active procurement demand for percutaneous sciatic nerve release procedures at the state and local level.

The recent opportunities originate from a mix of issuing bodies including county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, and Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California), municipal fire departments (Santa Monica), and county health and behavioral health divisions. The geographic activity spans Georgia, Florida, and California, with no clear concentration in any single region. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending around $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). The code does not show active procurement demand for the clinical service its UNSPSC number nominally describes; state and local buyers are not using this code to solicit orthopedic or neurological procedures.
