UNSPSC 85482413: Division of thoracic sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of thoracic 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 018L3ZZ

UNSPSC 85482413 Division of thoracic sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The six recent opportunities tagged under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (Phoenix), surgical benefit carve-out programs (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing (Santa Clara County Health System). None of these solicitations address thoracic nerve division or percutaneous surgical procedures; the code assignment appears inconsistent with the work actually being purchased. The opportunities span medical administration, benefits management, occupational health compliance, detention healthcare, and staffing services—none of which align with the code's nominal surgical scope.

The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement signals that this code carries minimal relevance for firms pursuing state and local health-related contracts. Recent activity under this code designation is concentrated among county health systems, municipal retirement offices, and state transportation agencies in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, but the contracts themselves do not represent surgical or procedural medical work. Practitioners should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for any opportunity initially tagged under 85482413 before committing resources to pursuit.
