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 that designates a specific spinal surgical procedure; however, recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement of spine surgery or surgical interventions. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing, Centers of Excellence networks for surgical carve-outs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. The mismatch between the code's nominal clinical scope and the recent opportunities suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or application of the code to broader health services administration roles. State and local health systems, county procurement offices, city retirement boards, and county human resources divisions are posting under this code, indicating it may be used loosely to capture health administration and medical services contracting that does not cleanly map to a specific surgical procedure.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services with proposals due October 16, 2026 at $750,000 over five years. The City of Long Beach posted HR26753 for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program with proposals due October 7, 2026, targeting Centers of Excellence for knee, hip, orthopedic, shoulder, spine, heart, weight loss, and oncology procedures. Collier County issued RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services with an April 9, 2026 deadline and historical annual spending of $8.7 million. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing through RFSQHHSFY270052 with proposals due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued RFI 071626BNM seeking hospital and specialty medical providers for detained youth care with responses due September 25, 2026. The code shows low relevance to the posted opportunities and warrants verification against actual procurement intent.
