UNSPSC 85482922: Release cervical plexus, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 01N00ZZ

UNSPSC 85482922 Release cervical plexus, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect surgical intervention. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluations, disability benefit determinations, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with cervical plexus release surgery. The mismatch suggests either classification error in the source material or a code application that diverges significantly from the procedure the UNSPSC taxonomy intends to capture. State and local issuers posting under this code are seeking administrative and managed-care medical services rather than surgical procedures.

The recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington State, Florida, and Texas: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP for independent medical evaluation services, due October 16, 2026); the City of Long Beach (RFP for surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits, due October 7, 2026); the Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of Washington State Ferries (RFP for occupational medical surveillance, due October 9, 2026); Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (RFI for specialty and emergency medical services for detained youth, due September 25, 2026); Collier County Board of County Commissioners (RFP for pharmacy benefit management services, due April 9, 2026); and County of Santa Clara Health System (RFP to establish a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing, due October 7, 2026). The geographic spread and variety of issuing bodies—county health systems, municipal retirement offices, state transportation agencies, and county probation departments—indicate broad state and local procurement interest in medical and health services administration, though the assignment of these opportunities to a surgical-procedure code suggests potential data-quality issues worth clarifying before pursuing work under this classification.
