UNSPSC 85482930: Reposition 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 01S20ZZ

UNSPSC 85482930 Reposition phrenic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code tagged to state and local opportunities that show no alignment with the code's nominal surgical procedure scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code encompass occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, disability medical evaluations for public safety pension applicants, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management administration, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve phrenic nerve repositioning or surgical intervention. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, county health systems, state transportation departments, and county probation authorities, reflecting a mix of municipal human resources and public health administration rather than surgical or clinical procedure delivery. The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no pattern suggesting concentrated activity in any single state or region.

The mismatch between the code's procedural name and the actual scope of recent solicitations indicates this Commodity code receives minimal relevant state and local procurement activity. Representative opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026, maximum $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). None of these solicitations contemplate surgical procedures or nerve repositioning, and the code appears to have been applied incorrectly or serves as a placeholder for broader medical services categorization in the issuing jurisdictions' procurement systems. Pursuing opportunities under this code would require confirming with issuing bodies that the tagged code reflects actual scope intent rather than administrative tagging error.
