UNSPSC 85482402: Division of abdominal sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division 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 018M3ZZ

UNSPSC 85482402 Division of abdominal sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal clinical procedure scope and recent state and local government buying activity. The code's name references a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it encompass independent disability medical evaluations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefits management, pharmacy benefit administration, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth — none of which involve nerve division procedures. State and local governments are using this code to classify health professional services procurement broadly rather than the discrete surgical procedure the code nominally describes.

The recent opportunities reflect activity across diverse issuing bodies including city pension and retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal employee health plans (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county general administration (Collier County), and regional health systems (County of Santa Clara). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Washington, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing without guaranteed volume (due October 7, 2026). The code's use in these contexts suggests state and local procurement systems are applying it as a catch-all for health services contracting rather than as a classifier for the specific ablative nerve procedure it nominally describes.
