UNSPSC 85482927: Repair phrenic nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 01Q20ZZ

UNSPSC 85482927 Repair phrenic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes surgical repair of phrenic nerves, a specialized clinical procedure typically performed in hospital operating rooms by trained surgeons. However, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code reflect no surgical procedures; instead, they encompass comprehensive managed healthcare services, including inmate medical and pharmacy management, pharmacy benefit management for county employees, virtual primary and urgent care delivery, peer support services for behavioral health workers, and emergency medical services medical direction. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county governments and county health departments (Muscogee County, Collier County, Monroe County, and Santa Monica Fire Department), as well as a county behavioral health agency (San Mateo County BHRS). None of the recent opportunities involve orthopedic, cardiothoracic, or surgical specialties; they are predominantly administrative healthcare contracting and service delivery.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Florida (Collier County and Monroe County), Georgia (Muscogee County), California (San Mateo County), and a California city (Santa Monica). Representative recent opportunities illustrate the mismatch: Muscogee County's RFP No. 26-0008 (due May 15, 2026) solicits inmate medical and pharmacy services for a 576-inmate facility under a two-year contract with renewal options; Collier County Procurement Services Division's RFP 25-8414 (due April 9, 2026) procures pharmacy benefit management covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 members with historical annual spending of $8.7 million; and Monroe County's RFP628 (due April 16, 2026) requests virtual primary and urgent care services for 2,300 county members. The code appears to be a data-classification artifact; vendors pursuing state and local work in healthcare delivery, pharmacy management, or EMS administration should monitor those service categories directly rather than rely on this surgical-procedure code's tagging.
