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 01QF3ZZ

UNSPSC 85482005 Repair sciatic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure for peripheral nerve repair—does not align with the actual opportunities tagged under it in state and local records. The recent solicitations posted under this code include inmate 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 sciatic nerve repair or percutaneous surgical procedures. This mismatch indicates either a cataloging error in the issuing jurisdictions' procurement systems or use of the code to tag broad healthcare administration and medical services that fall outside its specific commodity definition.

The issuing bodies in the tagged opportunities span county governments (Muscogee County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Monroe County, Florida) and a county health department (San Mateo County, California), along with a municipal fire department (Santa Monica, California). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Florida, and California. Given that the code's actual definition bears no relationship to the work being solicited, business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with issuing offices before pursuing these opportunities, and should not rely on this code as a predictor of future sciatic nerve repair procurement activity in state and local markets.
