This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 01CL4ZZ

UNSPSC 85482521 Extirpation of matter from thoracic sympathetic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it by state and local governments. Recent opportunities posted under this code show no procurement of the thoracic sympathetic nerve procedures the code nominally describes. Instead, state and local issuing bodies are using this code to tag unrelated healthcare services and benefits administration work, including occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, and surgical procedure carve-out programs. The mismatch between the code's narrow clinical scope and the broad healthcare administration and benefits services being purchased suggests either a systematic miscoding issue or that the code serves as a catch-all placeholder for health-related state and local contracts that do not fit narrower procurement categories. This code shows little relevant activity aligned with its stated scope.

The geographic spread of the six recent opportunities spans Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), indicating nationwide fragmentation across state departments, county health systems, cities, and special districts rather than concentration in any single region or issuing-body type. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara's non-exclusive multiple-award RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026).
