UNSPSC 85472318: Excision of vagus nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 00BQ3ZZ

UNSPSC 85472318 Excision of vagus nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that nominally names a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no meaningful connection to vagus nerve excision. Instead, the code shows activity across occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out administration, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and youth detention medical services — none of which align with the narrow procedural scope the code name suggests. State and local governments are not soliciting vagus nerve procedures under this code; the tagging appears to reflect a classification mismatch rather than genuine procurement demand for this specific intervention.

The geographic spread of the few recent opportunities spans Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers), Arizona (City of Phoenix, disability retirement medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach, surgical benefit carve-outs; Santa Clara County Health System, temporary health professional staffing), Florida (Collier County, pharmacy benefit management), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth). The issuing bodies are primarily county and municipal health systems, county human resources and procurement offices, and state transportation agencies — a mix of benefits administration, general government health support, and custody-related medical care. The code shows little relevant recent activity and should not be pursued on the basis of genuine vagus nerve excision demand.
