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 01BL0ZZ

UNSPSC 85482310 Excision of thoracic sympathetic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the most recent opportunities tagged to this code are for healthcare management, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary care, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve thoracic sympathetic nerve excision or surgical intervention of any kind. State and local procurement offices appear to have mistagged these opportunities; the code shows no genuine recent activity in its stated scope.

The five most recent opportunities represent healthcare administration and provider services across multiple jurisdictional types. The Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison in Georgia) is procuring comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services through an RFP due May 15, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida is seeking pharmacy benefit management services for its health care consortium with proposals due April 9, 2026; Monroe County, Florida is issuing an RFP for virtual primary and urgent care services due April 16, 2026; San Mateo County Health in California posted an RFP for peer support services for peer workers with a July 2, 2025 deadline; and the Santa Monica Fire Department in California is recruiting a physician to serve as EMS medical director with an October 16, 2025 proposal deadline. These opportunities span county governments, special-purpose health authorities, and municipal fire departments across Florida, Georgia, and California, but bear no relationship to the thoracic sympathetic nerve excision code designation. The code merits review for correction or removal from active procurement tracking.
