UNSPSC 85482520: Extirpation of matter from thoracic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from thoracic 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 01C84ZZ

UNSPSC 85482520 Extirpation of matter from thoracic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its medical procedure classification. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical technique for removing matter from the thoracic nerve, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-out programs, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no connection to that procedure and instead reflect broader healthcare administration and staffing contracting.

The mismatch between code assignment and actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding at the source level or that this Commodity code is not the operative classification for state and local health services solicitation in this period. State and local issuers across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington posted healthcare-related opportunities during August–October 2026, but none appear to be purchasing thoracic nerve procedures or related surgical services. Buyers include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, and Santa Clara County Health System. Given the absence of opportunities substantively aligned with the code's defined scope, this category presents no near-term pursuit opportunity for firms offering the specified surgical or endoscopic services.
