UNSPSC 85482617: Excision of brachial plexus, open 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 01B30ZZ

UNSPSC 85482617 Excision of brachial plexus, open approach is a Commodity code whose nominal scope does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The posted opportunities spanning Phoenix, Long Beach, Washington State, Harris County, Collier County, and Santa Clara County show no surgical procedures or orthopedic interventions. Instead, the recent solicitations track medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, temporary clinical staffing placement, and surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans—administrative healthcare services and workforce staffing rather than surgical procedures performed on patients. The mismatch suggests this code is either incorrectly tagged by issuing bodies or reflects a classification error in how the opportunities were indexed.

The issuing bodies include city retirement offices (Phoenix), municipal HR departments (Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), county juvenile justice systems (Harris County), county commissioners (Collier County), and county health systems (Santa Clara County). Recent opportunities cluster in Arizona, California, Florida, Washington, and Texas, with no geographic concentration. The code shows little relevant procurement activity in its stated scope; vendors evaluating whether to pursue state and local work under this code should verify that their service offerings align with administrative healthcare services, benefit management, or staffing rather than surgical procedures.
