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 recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a surgical procedure — bears no meaningful relationship to the six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 under this classification, which solicit medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out administration, youth detention medical care, and temporary clinical staffing. State and local buyers are not procuring thoracic nerve extraction procedures; the code appears to reflect a healthcare taxonomy misapplication rather than an active procurement category.

The issuing bodies in the block include county health systems and departments (Santa Clara County Health System, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), municipal employee benefits programs (City of Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) covering disability medical record review and scheduling of independent psychiatric and medical examinations for approximately 75 annual pension benefit applications at a five-year contract value of $750,000; and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) covering baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for ferry system employees across 14 Washington locations, with a two-year initial term and optional five-year extension. The code shows no meaningful recent purchasing activity aligned with its stated scope.
