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 surgical procedure, but the recent state and local contract opportunities indexed under it do not reflect surgical or procedural healthcare delivery. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive inmate healthcare administration, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support workforce development, and fire department medical direction — none of which involve cervical plexus release or operative orthopedic surgery. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the UNSPSC coding applied by the issuing jurisdictions or a misalignment between the code's surgical definition and how procurement systems are actually tagging healthcare management and administration contracts. The code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its stated scope.

The geographic spread of the four opportunities that do appear includes Georgia (Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management and Monroe County virtual care), and California (San Mateo County peer support pilot and Santa Monica Fire Department medical direction). Issuing bodies include county commissions, a consolidated city government, a county health department, and a municipal fire department. The Muscogee County Prison inmate medical and pharmacy services RFP (posted April 15, 2026, due May 15, 2026) is the most directly healthcare-focused; Collier County's pharmacy benefit management RFP (posted April 9, 2026) and Monroe County's virtual primary and urgent care services RFP (posted March 14, 2026, due April 16, 2026) represent administrative healthcare procurement rather than clinical services. None of these solicitations relate to surgical procedures or the cervical plexus code's operative scope, making pursuit under this code impractical unless the coding error is corrected upstream.
