UNSPSC 85472138: Reposition vagus nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 00SQ0ZZ

UNSPSC 85472138 Reposition vagus nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that describes a surgical procedure with no demonstrable recent state and local procurement activity. The five most-recent opportunities posted under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services for a county prison (Muscogee County, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management for a county employee health plan (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for mental health workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica, California) — bear no relationship to vagus nerve surgery or any surgical intervention. The code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited are fundamentally misaligned, indicating either a classification error in the source data or opportunistic use of a surgical code to tag administrative and clinical healthcare contracts.

State and local procurement bodies do not appear to be tendering vagus nerve repositioning procedures under this code. The opportunities linked to it address healthcare administration, employee health plan management, virtual care delivery, mental health peer support, and fire department medical oversight — none of which involve operative surgical services. Absent evidence of correctly classified recent opportunities, this code does not present a viable avenue for pursuing state and local healthcare or surgical contracting activity.
