This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from sciatic 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 01CF4ZZ

UNSPSC 85482155 Extirpation of matter from sciatic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that exhibits no meaningful alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect comprehensive healthcare service procurement across multiple care models—inmate medical and pharmacy services for county detention facilities, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care platforms, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction. None of these solicitations involve sciatic nerve procedures or orthopedic surgical services of any kind. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of non-surgical healthcare services tagged to it suggests either systematic miscoding or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare procurement without regard to UNSPSC taxonomy precision.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county boards of commissioners (Collier County, Monroe County, Florida), county health departments and behavioral health divisions (San Mateo County), municipal fire departments (Santa Monica), and county corrections authorities (Muscogee County, Georgia). Representative recent opportunities include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026), Collier County Board of County Commissioners RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), and Santa Monica Fire Department RFP 455 for Fire Department Medical Director services (due October 16, 2025). Activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with secondary California activity. This code does not reflect a viable opportunity category for surgical medical device or orthopedic service providers and warrants exclusion from procurement tracking focused on actual state and local buying patterns.
