UNSPSC 85482511: Destruction of thoracic sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of thoracic 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 015L4ZZ

UNSPSC 85482511 Destruction of thoracic sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The code's abstract medical procedure classification does not correspond to the actual work posted under it in state and local notices during the past three months. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing placement, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody — none of which represent thoracic sympathetic nerve destruction or other surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is rarely used for clinical procedure procurement at the state and local level.

The few opportunities carrying this code originate from geographically dispersed issuing bodies including Arizona municipal pension boards, California cities and county health systems, Washington state transportation agencies, and Texas county juvenile justice departments. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation posted an IFB (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations, and the County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFQ (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for a qualified vendor pool in temporary clinical staffing across thirteen ancillary health professional categories excluding nursing and physicians. No recent opportunities under this code represent the surgical procedure work the code nominally describes.
