UNSPSC 85482013: Reposition lumbar nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 01SB3ZZ

UNSPSC 85482013 Reposition lumbar nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with no substantive recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its clinical scope. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure for nerve repositioning, yet the recent opportunities posted under this designation span inmate healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care platforms, peer support services for mental health workers, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve spinal nerve surgery or percutaneous interventions. This mismatch indicates either a tagging error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being used as a catch-all for healthcare services beyond its intended taxonomy. The apparent misclassification renders this code unreliable for tracking actual procurement demand in its stated specialty.

The five recent opportunities span Florida (Collier County RFP for pharmacy benefit management posted April 9, 2026, and Monroe County RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services posted March 14, 2026, with response due April 16, 2026), Georgia (Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP for inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026), California (San Mateo County BHRS peer support pilot posted February 25, 2026), and California (Santa Monica Fire Department medical director RFP posted February 25, 2026). Issuers include county governments, consolidated city-county authorities, and special-purpose health and fire departments. Without meaningful alignment between the code's clinical definition and the work being solicited, business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before committing pursuit resources to opportunities tagged under this number.
