This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of sacral sympathetic 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 01DP4ZZ

UNSPSC 85482168 Extraction of sacral sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code showing minimal recent activity in state and local procurement that aligns with its nominal medical-procedure scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect instead a broader pattern of state and local healthcare service procurement — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve extraction of sacral sympathetic nerve or percutaneous endoscopic surgical procedures. The mismatch between the code's technical clinical definition and the actual work solicited suggests either mis-tagging by issuing bodies or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC's medical-procedure taxonomy and state and local healthcare contracting practice.

The issuing bodies are dispersed across county and municipal jurisdictions: Muscogee County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California). Geographic activity spans the Southeast and West Coast; the two Florida opportunities (pharmacy benefit management and virtual care services) represent the most recent postings in March and April 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026) and Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 county employees and 4,800 covered members (due April 9, 2026). No opportunities under this code involve the surgical procedure named in the UNSPSC definition.
