UNSPSC 85482101: Destruction of lumbar plexus, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of lumbar plexus, percutaneous endoscopic 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 01594ZZ

UNSPSC 85482101 Destruction of lumbar plexus, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it do not involve lumbar plexus destruction or related spinal interventions. Instead, the five opportunities in the record span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which align with the code's procedural scope. The mismatch suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or that the code carries broader healthcare administrative and staffing meanings in state and local taxonomies that diverge from its clinical name.

The opportunities span diverse issuing bodies including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System, with activity concentrated in Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) at a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years, and the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) with a two-year term and optional five-year extensions. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, vendors should verify coding alignment with the issuing body before pursuing opportunities tagged to this classification.
