This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of lumbar nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach.

UNSPSC 85482126 Drainage of lumbar nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific neurosurgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged to it do not align with this scope. The most recent state and local contracts posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations, surgical benefit management for municipal employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve lumbar nerve drainage or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal definition and the actual work being solicited suggests either systematic misclassification in state and local procurement systems or that the code is not in active use for its stated purpose within the state and local market.

If pursuing opportunities under this code, business development activity should focus on the actual work being tagged to it rather than the procedural definition. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county government (Collier County, Santa Clara County), and special-purpose health systems (Santa Clara Health System). Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), Washington State Ferries' RFP for occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026, with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Santa Clara County Health System's RFQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involves the procedure named in the UNSPSC code definition.
