UNSPSC 85482153: Extirpation of matter from lumbar nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 01CB4ZZ

UNSPSC 85482153 Extirpation of matter from lumbar nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—are unrelated to lumbar nerve procedures or spine surgery. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than a live procurement category for this work.

The mismatch between the code's medical procedure descriptor and the actual opportunities posted suggests that state and local contracting offices may be using this UNSPSC number incorrectly for broader healthcare administrative and staffing services. Because the substantive recent opportunities—Phoenix's disability medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's Centers of Excellence surgical carve-out (due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance (due October 9, 2026), and Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing pool (due October 7, 2026)—do not involve lumbar nerve surgery or percutaneous endoscopic procedures, vendors pursuing work in healthcare administration, occupational medicine, specialty surgical networks, or medical staffing should verify the correct UNSPSC code assignment in RFP documents rather than relying on this code to surface relevant opportunities.
