UNSPSC 85481105: Excision of head and neck sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 01BK3ZZ

UNSPSC 85481105 Excision of head and neck sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which involve sympathetic nerve excision. The mismatch indicates either tagging error or misalignment between the code taxonomy and how issuing bodies classify health and medical services procurement. A business development professional should treat this code as showing no relevant recent activity.

No state and local opportunities posted under UNSPSC 85481105 in the past ninety days involve the procedure the code nominally describes. The six recent records associated with this code cover entirely distinct service categories: independent medical evaluation and disability determination support (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical and medical procedure Centers of Excellence management (City of Long Beach), occupational health surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty care for detained juveniles (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and temporary clinical staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System). Unless the classification system is being used in a substantially different manner than its nominal taxonomy suggests, pursuit of this code should be deferred pending clarification of whether the tagging reflects actual procurement intent or administrative inconsistency.
