This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of head and neck sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic 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 01BK4ZZ

UNSPSC 85481205 Excision of head and neck sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal medical procedure scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 that carry this code in state and local procurement systems do not reflect surgical procedures or orthopedic interventions; instead they represent medical staffing, benefit administration, disability evaluation, and pharmacy management services. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all taxonomy marker for health-related procurement rather than as a descriptor of the specific procedure named in the code itself. State and local buying activity under this code—to the extent the recent postings are representative—spans public retirement systems, municipal health benefits programs, county detention and occupational health operations, and regional health system staffing networks. Issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal human resources departments (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation services (Harris County), county commissions (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County).

Recent opportunities include Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), Long Beach's surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for city employees and retirees (RFP HR26753, due October 7, 2026), Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminals (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), Harris County's specialty and emergency medical services for youth in detention (RFI 071626BNM, due September 25, 2026), Collier County's pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees (RFP 25-8414, historical annual spend approximately $8.7 million), and Santa Clara County Health System's temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQ RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Activity clusters in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with the most recent postings reflecting municipal and county health administration and occupational medicine rather than surgical procedures. The code's recent deployment appears misaligned with its stated procedure scope.
