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 01Q10ZZ

UNSPSC 85482926 Repair cervical nerve, open approach (Commodity) shows a severe mismatch between its nominal scope—a surgical procedure code—and the actual work state and local governments are buying under this code designation. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-out administration, and emergency/specialty medical services for youth in custody. None of these activities constitute cervical nerve repair or surgical intervention. The code appears to reflect a tagging error in state and local procurement systems rather than a genuine commodity line item.

The issuing bodies include city retirement boards (City of Phoenix), municipal health departments and procurement offices (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), and county commissioners' offices (Collier County). Recent representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical benefit carve-out program administration for Center of Excellence networks (due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, and Washington. This code offers no actionable procurement opportunity for firms pursuing surgical or nerve repair services; vendors should treat any tagging of this code as a data quality issue and verify actual scope through RFP documents.
