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 is a Commodity code that does not reflect the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The five most recent opportunities posted under this code cover inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support for behavioral health workers, and fire department medical direction—none of which involve surgical extraction of the phrenic nerve or any surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests that either the code assignment is incorrect in the source system or the opportunities have been miscategorized at the UNSPSC level.

The available opportunities reveal purchasing activity by county government health systems and corrections agencies rather than surgical providers or hospitals procuring nerve extraction services. Issuing bodies include the Columbus Consolidated Government (Muscogee County Prison medical services), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (pharmacy benefit management), Monroe County Board of County Commissioners (virtual primary and urgent care), San Mateo County Health (behavioral health peer support), and the Santa Monica Fire Department (EMS medical direction). Geographic spread spans Florida, California, and Georgia. Because the code's nominal scope—surgical nerve extraction—does not align with the work actually being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for vendors in surgical or orthopedic specialties seeking corrections, emergency care, or pharmacy management contracts.
