UNSPSC 85482003: Repair lumbar nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair lumbar 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 01QB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85482003 Repair lumbar nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code show little alignment with its nominal medical-procedure scope. The three substantive solicitations present instead fall into occupational health surveillance, pension-disability medical evaluations, and temporary health-professional staffing—none of which involve lumbar nerve repair or percutaneous surgical intervention. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP 26001 seeks independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations for fire and police personnel, requiring M.D. or D.O. contractors with five years' disability-assessment experience and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP 20260825 requires occupational medical surveillance performed by physicians board-certified in occupational medicine across 14 ferry-system locations in Washington, with a two-year term and optional five-year extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQHHSFY270052 establishes a non-exclusive qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties, with no guaranteed work. A Collier County PBM services solicitation and Harris County youth-detention medical-services RFI appear similarly tangential to the code's stated definition.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington Transportation), county health systems and pension boards (Santa Clara, Collier, Harris), and municipal retirement offices (Phoenix). Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, Arizona, and Washington, with no evidence of the lumbar-nerve-repair procedures the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's title and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or that this code does not reflect current state and local procurement activity in surgical spine care. Vendors evaluating pursuit should verify that opportunities actually require their service line before responding, as the code shows substantial misalignment between its definition and recent opportunity scope.
