UNSPSC 85482921: Extraction of phrenic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction 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 01D20ZZ

UNSPSC 85482921 Extraction of phrenic nerve, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not align with the code's scope. Among the opportunities tagged to this code, one concerns independent medical evaluation and disability benefits administration for a public safety pension system, another addresses surgical procedure carve-out benefits and Centers of Excellence networks for a municipal employee health plan, a third solicits occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers, a fourth seeks emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, a fifth requests pharmacy benefit management services, and a sixth seeks temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these opportunities involve the extraction of the phrenic nerve or any comparable surgical procedure code. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a cataloging error or a fundamental divergence between the UNSPSC classification applied and the services state and local governments are actually purchasing under it.

The issuing bodies span state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach). Geographic spread includes Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. The opportunities do not show concentration in any single state or jurisdiction. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations (due October 16, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical procedure carve-out benefits (due October 7, 2026), and the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026, with a pre-bid conference scheduled for August 31, 2026).
