UNSPSC 85813508: Introduction of local anesthetic into subcutaneous tissue, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of local anesthetic into subcutaneous tissue, percutaneous approach. This administrative 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 3E013BZ

UNSPSC 85813508 Introduction of local anesthetic into subcutaneous tissue, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal clinical scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not reflect the narrow procedure described by the code name. Instead, state and local buyers are using this classification to solicit virtual urgent care services, comprehensive occupational health evaluations, program of all-inclusive care for the elderly (PACE) operations, rural value-based care facilitation, cancer registry services, handheld retinal screening devices, emergency medical technician staffing, employee health clinic management, and recovery audit contractor services — a broad spectrum of telehealth, occupational health, specialty medical services, and administrative healthcare functions that bear no direct connection to subcutaneous local anesthetic injection. The issuing bodies include state health authorities (Nevada), county health systems and behavioral health departments (Santa Clara, San Mateo, Ventura, Fairfax, Forsyth), municipal fire and emergency services (Atlanta, Boulder, Sarasota), school districts (Parkway), and specialized state entities (Texas HHSC, Colorado Department of Human Services, Illinois Secretary of State). The geographic spread spans California, Nevada, Colorado, Georgia, Florida, Arizona, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and the District of Columbia, with no concentration in any single state.

The mismatch between the code name and actual solicitations suggests either systematic miscoding of healthcare service opportunities or a taxonomy alignment issue within state and local procurement systems. Representative recent opportunities include the Inland Empire Health Plan (California) RFI for 24/7 virtual urgent care services with a response deadline of October 31, 2026; the Nevada Health Authority RFP for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) operations across multiple service areas, with proposals due December 10, 2026; San Mateo County's RFP for Cancer Registry Services supporting a public hospital system, due November 6, 2026; and the Texas HHSC RFQ for radiology and EKG interpretation services across 24 state facilities, due July 20, 2026. Given the code's stated scope and the absence of recent solicitations actually seeking local anesthetic injection services or related supplies, this category offers limited pursuit opportunity unless your firm operates broadly across telehealth, occupational medicine, PACE operations, or clinical support services and can reframe coding alignment with procurement offices.
