UNSPSC 85482002: Repair lumbosacral plexus, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair lumbosacral 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 01QA3ZZ

UNSPSC 85482002 Repair lumbosacral plexus, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code intended to classify surgical repair procedures on the lumbosacral plexus. However, recent state and local contract opportunities tagged with this code show no alignment with surgical intervention—the actual work being solicited under this code includes inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management for employee health plans, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical director services. The code appears to be a systematic mislabeling of health services procurement, not procurement of orthopedic or neurological surgical procedures.

The issuing bodies span county corrections systems, county human resources and benefits management, county employee health programs, county behavioral health departments, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Monroe County) and includes Georgia (Muscogee County, Columbus Consolidated Government), California (San Mateo County), and Los Angeles County. Representative recent opportunities include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending near $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope—surgical repair of neural tissue—bears no connection to the health plan administration, clinical services delivery, and behavioral health support actually being purchased, this code does not offer a reliable signal for business development targeting or opportunity forecasting in state and local procurement.
