UNSPSC 85482924: Release phrenic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release 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 01N20ZZ

UNSPSC 85482924 Release phrenic nerve, open approach (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal medical-procedure scope in state and local procurement. The code's title references a specific surgical intervention, yet the recent solicitations tagged under it span occupational health surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical centers of excellence — none of which involve phrenic nerve release. State and local buyers are not procuring this specific surgical service; instead, they are soliciting broader healthcare administration, staffing, and benefit-management services that fall outside the code's clinical intent. The mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied in the posting systems or represents a data-tagging error rather than an active procurement category for the procedure itself.

The source documents six recent opportunities across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington state, posted between July and September 2026, but none address the release of the phrenic nerve as a discrete service line or bundled surgical offering. The City of Phoenix's independent medical evaluation services RFP (due October 16, 2026) and the Washington State Department of Transportation occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) focus on administrative and occupational health functions, while the City of Long Beach surgical centers of excellence carve-out (due October 7, 2026) bundles orthopedic, cardiac, and oncology procedures without mentioning phrenic intervention. A business development professional should treat this code as inactive for state and local contract pursuit unless future opportunities demonstrate actual demand for phrenic nerve release surgery or related peripheral nerve procedures within a state or local healthcare delivery or benefit-management context.
