UNSPSC 85482913: Excision of cervical plexus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of cervical 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 01B00ZZ

UNSPSC 85482913 Excision of cervical plexus, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the state and local opportunities tagged with this code are instead soliciting medical evaluation, surveillance, and benefit-management services that bear no relationship to cervical plexus surgery. The mismatch appears systematic: recent solicitations cover independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, occupational health surveillance for ferry workers, specialty surgical care coordination through Centers of Excellence, emergency and inpatient services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical specialties. None of these services involve the excision of a cervical plexus. This code shows no relevant recent activity for firms pursuing state and local procurement opportunities in surgical or procedural services.

The issuing bodies across the recorded opportunities span a state transportation department (Washington State Department of Transportation), county pension boards (Phoenix Fire and Police Pension Boards), county health systems (Santa Clara County), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county human resources consortium (Collier County), and a city health plan administrator (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The mismatch between code taxonomy and actual procurement suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misalignment between UNSPSC 85482913 and the services these jurisdictions are actually buying. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC codes for the medical services and staffing categories their firms support before pursuing work under this designation.
