UNSPSC 85816103: Introduction of regional anesthetic into peripheral nerves and plexi, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a administrative intervention or procedure to introduction of regional anesthetic into peripheral nerves and plexi, 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 3E0T3CZ

UNSPSC 85816103 Introduction of regional anesthetic into peripheral nerves and plexi, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a clinical procedure—regional anesthesia delivery via percutaneous injection—but the recent opportunities tagged under this code do not match this scope. The most recent solicitations under 85816103 span virtual urgent care services, occupational health services, medical director services, cancer registry operations, and inpatient psychiatric and substance-use treatment programs. These represent ambulatory and inpatient behavioral health, occupational medicine, and administrative health services—none of which align with anesthesia or procedural pain management. The mismatch between the code's clinical name and the actual purchasing activity suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or a data artifact in the UNSPSC classification system as applied to state and local health procurement.

State and local jurisdictions using this code include health authorities, county health systems, county behavioral health departments, county sheriffs' offices, city fire departments, school districts, and specialized health authorities across California, Nevada, Georgia, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Oregon, Texas, and other states. Recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies: the Nevada Health Authority (PACE operations and rural value-based care facilitation), San Mateo Medical Center (cancer registry and retinal screening), Boulder County Sheriff's Office (jail EMT staffing), the City of Ocala (employee health clinic), Cobb County (occupational health), and numerous others. Representative recent procurements include the Nevada Health Authority's RFP 41NHA-S4038 for Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly operations across Nevada (proposals due December 10, 2026); San Mateo County's RFP for Cancer Registry Services at San Mateo Medical Center (proposals due October 2, 2026); and the City of Ocala's RFP HUM/260527 for Employee Health Clinic Services and Administration covering 2,950 eligible subscribers (proposals due April 20, 2026). Given the consistent mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being purchased, this code warrants review for recoding or reclassification at the source.
