UNSPSC 85482400: Nerves thoraco-abdominal region, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the nerves of the thoraco-abdominal region, percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 01.

UNSPSC 85482400 Nerves thoraco-abdominal region, percutaneous approach is a Class code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged under this code—independent medical evaluations for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—do not involve nerve procedures, percutaneous approaches, or interventional work on the thoraco-abdominal region. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this anatomical procedure code is being applied to medical services and administrative functions for which it is not the appropriate taxonomy level. The issuing bodies span municipal retirement systems, city human resources departments, state transportation authorities, county juvenile justice agencies, county human services departments, and county health systems—a broad cross-section of state and local government—but the actual work being solicited is general medical administration and staffing, not specialized nerve intervention procedures.

The geographic spread of the opportunities covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, indicating multi-state activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP (RTMRFP26001) for independent medical evaluation services with a response date of October 16, 2026 and a $750,000 maximum contract value over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance with proposals due October 9, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on August 31, 2026; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ (RFSQHHSFY270052) establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026. This code does not appear to reflect genuine procurement for percutaneous nerve procedures in the thoraco-abdominal region and should be reviewed for recoding accuracy against actual state and local medical service demand.
