UNSPSC 85482313: Extraction of thoracic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction 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 01D80ZZ

UNSPSC 85482313 Extraction of thoracic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities on record. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure — extraction of a thoracic nerve via open surgical approach — a clinical intervention typically performed in hospital operating rooms or surgical centers, not a service typically procured through state and local government competitive bidding.

The recent opportunities tagged under this code span inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management for county employees (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care services (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services for behavioral health workers (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical director services (Santa Monica, California). None of these solicitations involve thoracic nerve extraction or surgical procedures of any kind. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source database or conflation of clinical service codes with operational healthcare administration and contracted medical direction. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. State and local procurement officers should verify the accuracy of coding before using this code to identify genuine surgical-services opportunities.
