UNSPSC 85483000: Nerves originating from cervical vertebrae, percutaneous approach

This class includes one or more of 22 standard surgical interventions or procedures on component parts of the nerves originating from the cervical vertabrae, percutaneous approach. These surgical interventions or procedures are listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 PCS under code 01.

UNSPSC 85483000 Nerves originating from cervical vertebrae, percutaneous approach is a Class code with no material recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The UNSPSC taxonomy classifies medical procedures and anatomical interventions; however, the recent opportunities posted under this code reflect occupational and disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical benefit administration—none of which involve cervical nerve procedures or percutaneous interventions. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its stated medical procedure definition and what state and local jurisdictions are actually buying under it.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, maximum contract value $750,000 over five years), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the City of Long Beach's RFP for a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program managing specialized Centers of Excellence networks for approximately 3,800 active employees and retirees (due October 7, 2026). Additional activity includes Harris County Juvenile Probation Department's RFI for emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth (responses due September 25, 2026), Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 7,200 total members (due April 9, 2026, historical spending approximately $8.7 million annually), and Santa Clara County Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award solicitation for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across 13 clinical categories (due October 7, 2026). Buyers span state departments, county health systems, municipalities, and pension boards across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. The code presents minimal relevance for vendors in spine or cervical neurosurgery, interventional pain management, or procedural healthcare delivery.
