UNSPSC 85482817: Excision of brachial plexus, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of brachial plexus, 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 01B34ZZ

UNSPSC 85482817 (Excision of brachial plexus, percutaneous endoscopic approach), a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code names a specific surgical procedure; the six recent opportunities in the source—spanning occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and emergency medical services for youth in custody—are administrative health services, benefits management, and staffing contracting rather than surgical procedure codes. None of the solicitations procure or reference excision of brachial plexus services or comparable procedural work.

The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and actual state and local purchasing patterns suggests either misclassification in the source data or an absence of direct procurement of this procedure type through state and local contract vehicles. Public sector health systems and benefits administrators typically contract for networks, provider relationships, and administrative management rather than discrete surgical procedures. Pursuit of this code carries minimal signal value at present.
