UNSPSC 85482905: Division of cervical nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of cervical nerve, 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 01810ZZ

UNSPSC 85482905 Division of cervical nerve, open approach is a Commodity-tier code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged to it does not align with surgical procedures or medical device procurement. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services for Muscogee County Prison (Georgia), pharmacy benefit management services for Collier County (Florida), virtual primary and urgent care for Monroe County (Florida), peer support services for San Mateo County (California), and fire department medical director services for Santa Monica (California) — are administrative healthcare services, managed care contracting, and staffing arrangements rather than cervical nerve division procedures or surgical supplies. None of the solicitations name surgical interventions, operating room services, neurosurgical instruments, or implantable devices. The code assignment appears to be a data classification error or a mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how the issuing bodies have tagged their opportunities.

No recent state and local procurement activity reflects the nominal scope of UNSPSC 85482905. Jurisdictions posting these healthcare contracting opportunities should clarify their coding with their procurement offices, as the assignments do not correspond to the work being bought.
