UNSPSC 85482401: Destruction of abdominal sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of abdominal sympathetic nerve, percutaneous 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 015M3ZZ

UNSPSC 85482401 Destruction of abdominal sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure—does not align with the state and local procurement activity actually tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code address occupational health surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical carve-out benefits, and emergency medical services for youth in detention. None of these solicitations involve nerve destruction procedures or percutaneous surgical intervention. The mismatch suggests either systematic mis-tagging by issuing bodies or that this code is used as a placeholder for broader medical services categories that do not fit the code's actual clinical definition.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans California (City of Long Beach), Arizona (City of Phoenix), Washington (WSDOT), Texas (Harris County), and Florida (Collier County), with a representative opportunity being the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations, due October 9, 2026 (RFP20260825), which requires physician-led baseline, periodic, and exit examinations for ferry workers. This code shows no coherent recent activity aligned to its Commodity definition and does not represent a viable procurement pursuit category for surgical service providers.
