UNSPSC 85472126: Extraction of vagus nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of vagus nerve, open approach. This surgical 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 00DQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85472126 Extraction of vagus nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with surgical services or medical procedures—the code appears to be a data-classification mismatch with actual procurement activity. The recent opportunities span inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for peer workers, and fire department medical direction, none of which involve vagus nerve extraction or surgical intervention. The issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County in Georgia, Collier County in Florida, Monroe County in Florida, and San Mateo County in California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department in California), but the code itself does not reflect the scope of work these jurisdictions are actually buying.

The geographic spread of recent activity touches Georgia, Florida, and California. Representative solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison (due May 15, 2026, annual cost currently $95,537.71 monthly), Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (proposals due April 16, 2026 with contract effective October 1, 2026), and San Mateo County's RFP 2025-007 for mental health peer support services totaling $580,000 over three years (due July 2, 2025). The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated scope; state and local procurement professionals should verify the correct code assignment before pursuing opportunities posted under this designation.
