UNSPSC 85482113: Division of lumbar nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of lumbar nerve, 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 018B4ZZ

UNSPSC 85482113 Division of lumbar nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach (Commodity) shows no meaningful state and local procurement activity. The code nominates a specific surgical procedure — lumbar nerve division via percutaneous endoscopic technique — but recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code are purchasing occupational medical surveillance services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these services involves the surgical procedure the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code is either misapplied in state and local procurement systems or sees no direct procurement for the procedure itself. The recent opportunities — from the Washington State Department of Transportation, City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System, and Collier County — span multiple jurisdictions and service lines, but they do not represent activity under UNSPSC 85482113 as defined. Business development professionals evaluating this code for state and local opportunity should consider it inactive for its nominal purpose and assess the broader medical and health services codes instead.
