UNSPSC 85482528: Reposition thoracic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 01S84ZZ

UNSPSC 85482528 Reposition thoracic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect surgical or procedural services for thoracic nerve repositioning. Instead, the code shows activity in occupational medical surveillance, disability medical record management, surgical benefit carve-out administration, and temporary health professional staffing—a misalignment between the code's stated scope and what agencies are actually buying. The issuing bodies are primarily county and municipal health systems and human resources departments, along with state transportation agencies. The mismatch suggests either systematic coding error in the state and local procurement systems or that the code is being repurposed to capture non-surgical medical services. None of the recent opportunities represent the narrow clinical procedure the code nominally names.

Recent activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services covering 14 ferry system locations, due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference held August 31, 2026. The City of Long Beach solicited proposals for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit administration due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System posted an RFSQ to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across 13 ancillary clinical categories due October 7, 2026. Harris County Juvenile Probation Department issued an RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth due September 25, 2026. Given the pervasive mismatch between the code name and the scope of work being solicited, vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual service need with the issuing body's procurement office before bid preparation.
