UNSPSC 85482505: Excision of abdominal sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 01BM4ZZ

UNSPSC 85482505 Excision of abdominal sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's clinical specificity — a surgical procedure performed by physicians — does not align with the operational scope of government health benefits administration, occupational health programs, or medical staffing procurement that dominate recent opportunities tagged to this code. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office sought independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System; the City of Long Beach requested surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit management through Centers of Excellence for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation solicited occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; and the County of Santa Clara Health System established a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. None of these opportunities represent procurement of the specific surgical procedure named in the code.

The mismatch between code and recent opportunity scope suggests this code receives minimal direct purchasing activity from state and local entities. Government health agencies and public benefits administrators do not typically procure individual surgical procedures by procedure code; instead, they contract for medical services administration, benefits management, provider networks, or occupational health surveillance. If state and local procurement systems have tagged opportunities to this code, the tagging reflects administrative coding practices rather than actual procurement of abdominal sympathetic nerve excision services. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether their service offerings — procedural surgery, ambulatory surgical centers, or specialty surgical networks — align with actual state and local demand signals or whether the code represents a data classification artifact with limited opportunity flow.
