UNSPSC 85814106: Introduction of other therapeutic substance into epidural space, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of other therapeutic substance into epidural space, 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 3E0S3GC

UNSPSC 85814106 Introduction of other therapeutic substance into epidural space, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a clinical procedure, yet recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the code's narrow clinical scope. The code does not reflect genuine state and local purchasing patterns for this specific procedure; instead, the opportunities tagged under it encompass a much broader range of healthcare services including telehealth, occupational health, behavioral health, and administrative health services.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include county health authorities (Nevada Health Authority, Inland Empire Health Plan in California, DeKalb County Georgia), public hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), county sheriffs and public safety agencies (Boulder County, Sarasota County), school districts (Parkway School District), and cities (Phoenix, Ocala). Geographic activity centers on California (San Mateo, Inland Empire), Nevada, and Georgia, with additional opportunities in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, and Kansas. Representative recent solicitations include Inland Empire Health Plan's RFI for 24/7 virtual urgent care services (due October 31, 2026); Nevada Health Authority's RFP for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) operations (due December 10, 2026); and San Mateo County's RFP for cancer registry services (due November 6, 2026). The mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the actual work being solicited—which encompasses care coordination, health administration, wellness programs, and occupational health evaluation rather than epidural injections—signals either systematic tagging misalignment or a data quality issue in this portion of the UNSPSC taxonomy as applied by state and local procurement offices.
