UNSPSC 85482309 Excision of thoracic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it show no alignment with this clinical service. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span institutional healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction — none of which involve surgical excision of thoracic nerves. This mismatch suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or erroneously to procurement records that do not match its stated scope. The issuing bodies are diverse: a county sheriff's office (Muscogee County Prison medical services), two Florida county boards of commissioners (Collier County pharmacy benefit management and Monroe County virtual care), a California county behavioral health department (San Mateo County peer support), and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica Fire Department medical direction). No single jurisdiction appears more than once.

The recent opportunities span Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and California (Santa Monica), with no clear geographic concentration. Representative recent solicitations include Muscogee County's RFP No. 26-0008 for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services (due May 15, 2026), Collier County's RFP 25-8414 for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 enrolled employees and 4,800 covered members with approximately $8.7 million in historical annual spending (due April 9, 2026), Monroe County's RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members (due April 16, 2026), San Mateo County's RFP No. 2025-007 for peer support services for peer workers with $580,000 in total funding (due July 2, 2025), and Santa Monica Fire Department's RFP for an EMS Medical Director (due October 16, 2025). The code shows substantial recent activity but does not reflect its nominal UNSPSC definition; business development professionals should verify code accuracy before pursuing opportunities tagged under this number.
