This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from abdominal sympathetic 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 01CM0ZZ

UNSPSC 85482327 Extirpation of matter from abdominal sympathetic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows limited relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities tagged under it do not involve surgical intervention on sympathetic nerve tissue. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational and disability medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which align with the code's clinical descriptor. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that the code has been repurposed to capture broader medical services outside its stated surgical focus.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies across multiple states: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). With no clear pattern of repeated procurement under this code and no standardized work stream, pursuit under this code requires verification that a specific opportunity is indeed what it appears to be rather than a system coding error. The code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned to its surgical scope.
