UNSPSC 85482915: Excision of phrenic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 01B20ZZ

UNSPSC 85482915 Excision of phrenic nerve, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent solicitations tagged under it cover healthcare administration and management services — inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve surgical excision of the phrenic nerve. Issuing bodies include county governments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County in Florida and Georgia, San Mateo County in California) and a municipal fire department (Santa Monica). The geographic spread includes Florida, Georgia, and California. The code shows little relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the commodity's surgical scope and the healthcare-services work actually being solicited suggests mistagging rather than genuine procurement under this code.

Representative opportunities posted in the past four months reflect operational healthcare contracting rather than surgical services. Muscogee County consolidated government issued RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for inmate medical and pharmacy services covering sick call, chronic care, emergency referrals, and formulary management at an annual cost of approximately $1.146 million. Collier County Procurement Services issued RFP 25-8414 (posted April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering claims processing, formulary development, and specialty drug management for 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered dependents, with historical spending near $8.7 million annually. Monroe County sought virtual primary and urgent care services through RFP628 (due April 16, 2026) for 2,300 county members. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for their purposes; the recent opportunities do not reflect procurement under the phrenic nerve excision commodity.
