This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 01C00ZZ

UNSPSC 85482916 Extirpation of matter from cervical plexus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a specific surgical procedure involving removal of matter from the cervical plexus; however, recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not reflect surgical procurement or medical device procurement aligned with that narrow definition. Instead, the recent solicitations span independent medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out programs, and clinical staffing—none of which involve extirpation procedures or related surgical supply chains. The mismatch between the code's surgical-procedure name and the actual work being solicited suggests either a classification error in the state and local posting systems or a fundamental disconnect between UNSPSC taxonomy application and the opportunities recorded under this code.

Given the absence of relevant recent activity, pursuing this code for surgical-procedure-related products or services would be unproductive. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determination; the City of Long Beach (RFQ HR26753, due October 7, 2026) is requesting surgical benefit carve-out network management; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) is procuring occupational medical surveillance; and the County of Santa Clara Health System (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary clinical staffing. None of these opportunities involve cervical plexus procedures, surgical instruments, or related medical supply procurement. A business development professional evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for practical state and local pursuit and verify correct code assignment if pursuing any of the health services opportunities visible in the posting feed.
