UNSPSC 85482303: Division of thoracic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of thoracic 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 01880ZZ

UNSPSC 85482303, Division of thoracic nerve, open approach, is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—surgical procedural classification—does not align with the state and local contract opportunities currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted against this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal health plans, temporary health professional staffing, and information requests for emergency and specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities involve thoracic nerve division or open surgical approaches. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source jurisdiction procurement systems or a data classification error; the code shows minimal relevant recent activity for practitioners in surgical or interventional services.

Issuing bodies across the recent opportunities span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), municipal retirement systems (City of Phoenix), and municipal health authorities (City of Long Beach). The geographic spread covers Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a proposal due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum five-year contract value of $750,000; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance at 14 Washington ferry locations with proposals due October 9, 2026; and the Collier County RFP (258414) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees with a historical annual spend of $8.7 million and an initial term running January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028. No opportunities in this block genuinely belong under a surgical procedure classification code; vendors should verify code accuracy before committing pursuit resources.
