UNSPSC 85482417: Drainage of thoracic sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 019L3ZZ

UNSPSC 85482417 Drainage of thoracic sympathetic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its stated medical procedure scope. The six opportunities posted between July and September 2026 under this code — independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, health plan surgery benefits carve-out management, occupational medical surveillance, youth detention medical services, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — do not involve thoracic sympathetic nerve drainage or any percutaneous neurological procedure. The code appears to be a misclassification artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active procurement category.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the breadth of general medical administration work tagged to it suggests either systematic coding errors in issuing jurisdictions' procurement platforms or a fallback categorization practice when more precise codes are unavailable. Issuers included the City of Phoenix (pension system), City of Long Beach (employee health benefits), Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and County of Santa Clara Health System. Geographic distribution spans Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. The absence of any solicitation requesting actual thoracic nerve ablation, drainage, or percutaneous neurological intervention indicates minimal pursuit opportunity under this code unless state and local procurement systems begin tagging medical procedure work to clinically appropriate Commodity codes.
