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 01N20ZZ

UNSPSC 85482924 Release phrenic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. Recent opportunities posted under this code—including inmate medical and pharmacy services, pharmacy benefit management services, virtual primary and urgent care services, peer support services, and fire department medical direction—indicate that the code is being applied to broad healthcare service contracts rather than surgical procedures. The code's nominal scope (a specific surgical intervention) diverges sharply from the healthcare administration, managed care, and clinical service delivery work that state and local buyers are actually soliciting under it. This mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging of these opportunities or a systemic misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and procurement practice in this jurisdiction cluster.

The recent opportunities span state and county health systems and correctional authorities across Georgia, Florida, and California. The Columbus Consolidated Government Finance Department Purchasing Division issued RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) for comprehensive inmate medical and pharmacy services at Muscogee County Prison, with current monthly costs of $95,537.71 and a contract term of two years plus three optional renewal periods. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued RFP 25-8414 (due April 9, 2026) for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members, with historical annual pharmacy spending of approximately $8.7 million. Monroe County, Florida issued RFP628 (due April 16, 2026) for virtual primary and urgent care services for approximately 2,300 county members, effective October 1, 2026. San Mateo County Health Behavioral Health and Recovery Services issued RFP No. 2025-007 for a Mental Health Services Act peer support pilot project ($580,000 total funding). Santa Monica Fire Department issued RFP 455 for a fire department medical director (due October 16, 2025). Given the significant divergence between the code's stated scope and the opportunities posted under it, business development professionals should verify coding accuracy with procurement offices before investing resources in pursuit under this classification.
