UNSPSC 85472302: Destruction of vagus nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of vagus nerve, percutaneous 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 005Q3ZZ

UNSPSC 85472302 Destruction of vagus nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the actual opportunities posted under this classification. Recent solicitations tagged with this code describe occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical procedure carve-outs for employee health plans, and emergency medical services for youth in custody. None of these services involve vagus nerve destruction or percutaneous surgical approaches; the code appears to have been applied to diverse health and medical administrative services without direct connection to the procedure it names.

The mismatch between code and solicitation content suggests either inconsistent UNSPSC coding practices across state and local procurement offices or a classification error in the source data. The issuing bodies include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington, but the heterogeneous nature of the opportunities—none involving the surgical procedure named in the code—limits utility for business development professionals targeting this Commodity classification.
