UNSPSC 85481007: Extraction of head and neck sympathetic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of head and neck sympathetic 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 01DK0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481007, Extraction of head and neck sympathetic nerve, open approach (Commodity), shows no relevant recent activity among state and local procurement opportunities. The code describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit carve-out programs—represent administrative healthcare contracting, occupational medicine, and benefits management rather than surgical extraction services. State and local governments rarely solicit surgical procedures directly through formal RFPs; this code appears to be a taxonomy mislabeling in the source data.

The six opportunities in the recent block span medical and healthcare service categories unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (RFP, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach solicited surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit administration through Centers of Excellence (RFP, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation requested occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers across 14 locations (RFP, due October 9, 2026); and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a temporary health professional staffing vendor pool for ancillary clinical roles (RFP, due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations involve the surgical extraction procedure the code nominally describes, nor do they indicate procurement under this code is strategically active in any jurisdiction. Practitioners should verify code assignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under 85481007 in state and local channels.
