UNSPSC 85481979: Release peroneal nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release peroneal 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 01NH3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481979 Release peroneal nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no alignment with surgical or clinical intervention services. The five most recently posted state and local opportunities tagged to this code span inmate healthcare delivery (medical and pharmacy services for a county prison), pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve orthopedic or neurological surgical procedures. The disconnect between the code's clinical name and the scope of work actually being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding at the posting stage or a data-quality issue in the opportunities dataset itself.

Activity appears across multiple issuing bodies including county corrections facilities (Muscogee County, Georgia), county human resources and health benefit programs (Collier County and Monroe County, Florida), county behavioral health departments (San Mateo County, California), and municipal fire departments (Santa Monica, California). Recent solicitations posted between February and April 2026 include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services (due April 9, 2026 for approximately $8.7 million in annual pharmacy spending), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for peer support services ($580,000 funding, due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for a medical director (due October 16, 2025). The geographic spread covers Florida, Georgia, and California, with no concentration pattern evident. Given the absence of surgical-procedure-related opportunities and the preponderance of mislabeled healthcare administration and clinical service contracts, this code warrants review for accuracy before inclusion in procurement targeting strategies.
