UNSPSC 85482500: Nerves thoraco-abdominal region, percutaneous endoscopic 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 endoscopic 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 85482500 Nerves thoraco-abdominal region, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Class code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal medical procedure scope. The six state and local opportunities posted in the past two months do not align with the code's procedural definition. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, specialty surgical networks, independent disability medical evaluations, and emergency youth detention medical services — none of which involve thoraco-abdominal nerve procedures or percutaneous endoscopic intervention. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement systems that tagged these opportunities or a divergence between the code's formal definition and how issuing bodies apply it in practice.

The represented issuing bodies include a state department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health and human services agencies (Harris County Juvenile Probation, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Santa Clara County Health System), municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), and a municipal employee benefits program (City of Long Beach). Recent opportunities include the Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP due October 9, 2026; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's independent medical evaluation services RFP due October 16, 2026 with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP due October 7, 2026; and Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (due April 9, 2026, now closed). Activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no clear geographic concentration. Given the mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope, this code does not represent a reliable signal for vendors seeking medical procedure contracts in state and local markets.
