UNSPSC 85482501: Destruction of abdominal sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of abdominal sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic 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 015M4ZZ

UNSPSC 85482501 Destruction of abdominal sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no material alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure performed via minimally invasive endoscopy, but the six recent opportunities posted between July and September 2026 span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers, emergency and specialty healthcare for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve nerve destruction procedures or endoscopic surgical interventions. The mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied to these opportunities or that state and local procurement under this code does not reflect the procedural scope the UNSPSC taxonomy intends.

The recent opportunities originate from diverse issuing bodies including city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal health plans (Long Beach), state transportation departments (Washington), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county human resources divisions (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara), with no geographic concentration and no repeat issuer appearing more than once. If this code is actively used for state and local procurement, current activity is not visible in the recent record, and business development professionals should verify whether opportunities relevant to the code's procedural definition exist elsewhere or whether the code itself requires reclassification within state and local procurement taxonomies.
