This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of local anesthetic into epidural space, percutaneous approach.

UNSPSC 85814108, Introduction of local anesthetic into epidural space, percutaneous approach, is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its medical procedure description and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span telehealth platforms, nursing home operations, occupational health services, cancer screening, retinal imaging devices, emergency medical services, employee wellness programs, and behavioral health treatment—none of which involve epidural anesthesia administration. State and local bodies are soliciting through a mix of issuing entities including health plans (Inland Empire Health Plan in California), county health authorities (Nevada Health Authority, Brevard County Medical Examiner's Office), public hospital systems (San Mateo Medical Center), county departments (Seminole County Emergency Medical Services), municipalities (City of Ocala, City of Phoenix), counties (DeKalb County, Cobb County, Forsyth County), school districts (Parkway School District), and specialized entities such as fire departments and behavioral health divisions. The geographic spread is national, with recent activity across California, Georgia, Nevada, Florida, Colorado, Arizona, Illinois, Texas, New Mexico, Oregon, Kansas, Virginia, Minnesota, Missouri, and multiple other jurisdictions.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the code's actual use: Inland Empire Health Plan issued an RFI on October 16, 2026 (response due October 31, 2026) for 24/7/365 virtual urgent care services delivered by California board-certified physicians with authority to prescribe; Nevada Health Authority issued an RFP on October 8, 2026 (due December 10, 2026) for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly operations across multiple Nevada counties, with fixed monthly capitation pricing ranging from $4,532.24 to $8,804.32 per participant; San Mateo Medical Center issued an RFP on October 5, 2026 (due October 12, 2026) for cancer registry services supporting approximately 1,000 patient records annually; and Ventura County issued an RFP on July 30, 2026 (due September 10, 2026) to operate a 24-hour youth crisis stabilization unit. The code as currently tagged does not reflect medical procedure procurement but rather broader health service delivery and operational support. Pursuing activity under this code requires clarifying the actual service scope before proposal response, as the UNSPSC designation appears misaligned with the work state and local bodies are buying.
