UNSPSC 85482906: Division of phrenic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to division of phrenic 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 01820ZZ

UNSPSC 85482906 Division of phrenic nerve, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, yet recent opportunities tagged under this classification span occupational health surveillance, disability pension medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-out program administration, specialty staffing placement, pharmacy benefit management, and youth detention healthcare coordination—none of which involve phrenic nerve surgery or operative procedure-level medical interventions. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in the source data or a fundamental disconnect between the UNSPSC taxonomy assignment and the work state and local buyers are actually conducting under this code number.

Recent opportunities posted under the code originate from diverse issuing bodies: municipal pension boards (City of Phoenix), city workforce benefits offices (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county health systems (Santa Clara, Harris County), and county procurement divisions (Collier County). Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no dominant jurisdiction. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001, responses due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension determinations; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825, responses due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance covering 14 ferry system locations; and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, responses due October 7, 2026) establishing a vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. Given the consistent miscoding pattern across all recent postings, pursuit of this code should be treated as a data-quality issue rather than a market-entry opportunity.
