UNSPSC 85482187, Removal of neurostimulator lead from peripheral nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The recent opportunities tagged to this code address occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations for disability retirement determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefits, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty medical services for detained youth — none of which involve neurostimulator lead removal or peripheral nerve procedures. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured indicates either a systematic classification error or insufficient alignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are tagging health services and medical administration contracts.

The issuing bodies include a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries), county health systems and probation departments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, County of Santa Clara Health System, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), city retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), and municipal employee benefit administrators (City of Long Beach). Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP with proposals due October 9, 2026 for baseline and periodic medical examinations across 14 ferry terminal and shipyard locations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP with proposals due October 16, 2026 for disability benefit determinations totaling $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out RFP with proposals due October 7, 2026 for Centers of Excellence management covering orthopedic, spine, and oncology procedures; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP with proposals due April 9, 2026 supporting approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members. Geographic activity spans Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. The code shows no current activity aligned to its actual commodity definition.
