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 01DB4ZZ

UNSPSC 85482163 Extraction of lumbar nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code actually solicit comprehensive healthcare services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual care platforms, peer support programs, and medical director services—none of which involve lumbar nerve extraction or percutaneous endoscopic procedures. The mismatch suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that this code does not reflect actual state and local healthcare purchasing in the relevant period.

The five most recent opportunities under this code span diverse issuing bodies and service lines: Columbus Consolidated Government's Finance Department (Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services, RFP, due May 15, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management services for approximately 7,200 covered employees and dependents, RFP, due April 9, 2026); Monroe County, Florida (virtual primary care and urgent care services for 2,300 county members, RFP, due April 16, 2026); San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services (peer support pilot project for peer workers, RFP, due July 2, 2025); and Santa Monica Fire Department (EMS medical director, RFP, due October 16, 2025). Geographic concentration appears to fall in Florida and California, with outliers in Georgia. The code shows activity across county commissioners, city fire departments, and health departments, but the absence of any recent solicitation for actual surgical extraction procedures suggests this Commodity code is not a reliable marker for state and local procurement in this medical service category.
