UNSPSC 85481102: Division of head and neck sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of head and neck sympathetic 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 018K3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481102 Division of head and neck sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal medical procedure scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve nerve division procedures; instead, they cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and youth detention healthcare services. These opportunities span independent medical evaluation administration, occupational health examinations, pharmacy claims processing, clinical staffing placement, and care coordination — none of which map to the code's stated neurological procedure classification. State and local procurement offices issuing under this code include county commissioners (Collier County), county health systems (Santa Clara), county juvenile probation departments (Harris County), county retirement boards (Phoenix), city health departments and retirement offices (Phoenix, Long Beach), and state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation).

The geographic spread includes Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 for disability benefit assessments at $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026 covering 14 ferry system locations; the County of Santa Clara Health System's temporary health professional staffing qualification vehicle RFP due October 7, 2026 for ancillary clinical categories; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP due April 9, 2026 with historical spending near $8.7 million annually; and the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026 for Centers of Excellence networks. The code appears to carry significant classification misalignment; vendors should verify code applicability before pursuing opportunities nominally tagged under it.
