This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage 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 01920ZZ

UNSPSC 85482912 Drainage of phrenic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its clinical procedure classification and the actual state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not involve surgical drainage procedures or phrenic nerve interventions; instead, they center on healthcare service delivery contracts including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support worker programs, and fire department medical direction. State and local governments are using this code to solicit comprehensive healthcare administration and operational services, not the specific surgical procedure the code nominally describes. Issuing bodies include county and municipal governments, notably the Columbus Consolidated Government (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), Monroe County (Florida), San Mateo County (California), and the City of Santa Monica (California). The mix spans county health departments, corrections departments, fire departments, human resources divisions, and behavioral health agencies.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida (Collier County and Monroe County with two separate opportunities) and California (San Mateo County and Santa Monica), with one Georgia opportunity. Representative recent solicitations include the Columbus Consolidated Government's RFP No. 26-0008 for inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, due May 15, 2026, structured as a two-year contract with three optional one-year renewals; Collier County Board of County Commissioners' RFP 25-8414 for Pharmacy Benefit Management Services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members with historical annual pharmacy spending of $8.7 million, due April 9, 2026; and Monroe County's RFP for Virtual Primary and Urgent Care Services for approximately 2,300 county members, due April 16, 2026, with an effective date targeted for October 1, 2026. The code's tagging appears to reflect a data or classification error rather than intentional procurement categorization, making it an unreliable indicator of actual buying activity or vendor opportunity alignment under the stated clinical procedure definition.
