This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of regional anesthetic 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 3E0S3CZ

UNSPSC 85814107, Introduction of regional anesthetic into epidural space, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code representing a specific clinical procedure, yet the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The solicitations posted under this code do not reflect procurement for epidural anesthetic services or related procedure-specific medical supplies. Instead, the recent opportunities span broad healthcare service categories—virtual urgent care, general medical services, comprehensive nursing home operations, occupational health screenings, behavioral health programs, staffing services, and recovery initiatives—none of which directly map to epidural anesthesia or the specialized pain-management procedures the code nominally describes. This mismatch suggests either a persistent cataloging error in state procurement systems or use of the code as a catch-all placeholder for healthcare services unrelated to the code's technical definition.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code represent a cross-section of state and local health authorities: the Inland Empire Health Plan (California), DeKalb County (Georgia), Nevada Health Authority, San Mateo County (California), Boulder County Sheriff's Office (Colorado), the City of Ocala (Florida), Cobb County (Georgia), Los Alamos County (New Mexico), Brevard County (Florida), Santa Clara County (California), Phoenix Retirement Office and City of Phoenix (Arizona), Sarasota County (Florida), Parkway School District (Missouri), Harris County (Texas), Fairfax County (Virginia), Sourcewell (Minnesota cooperative), Colorado Department of Human Services, Illinois Secretary of State, Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative (Texas), Forsyth County (Georgia), Washington County (Oregon), City of Atlanta (Georgia), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Jackson County (Missouri), Ventura County (California), and Sedgwick County and City of Wichita (Kansas). Geographic representation spans California, Georgia, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, Illinois, and Oregon, with concentrated recent activity in California, Texas, and the Southwest. Representative recent procurements include Nevada Health Authority's RFP 41NHA-S4038 for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) operations (proposals due December 10, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP for Cancer Registry Services (proposals due October 2, 2026), and City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for pension boards (proposals due October 16, 2026). The code appears to see active use across state health departments, county health systems, and municipal employee-benefits functions, though the substantial gap between the code's technical definition and the work actually being procured signals that business development professionals should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before committing pursuit resources.
