UNSPSC 85483015: Excision of phrenic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision of phrenic nerve, percutaneous 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 01B23ZZ

UNSPSC 85483015 Excision of phrenic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope is a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve phrenic nerve excision or percutaneous surgical procedures of any kind. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty medical carve-out networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency services for youth in custody. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its taxonomy definition and current procurement activity, indicating either a misclassification issue in the source data or that the code is not meaningfully used by state and local buyers for medical procedure procurement in this period.

The recent opportunities span diverse issuing bodies—including the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, City of Long Beach, Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and Santa Clara County Health System—across Arizona, California, Washington, and Texas. Because none of the opportunities are aligned with the code's stated scope of a surgical procedure, this code does not warrant pursuit based on current market activity. Buyers appearing in the source block are active in healthcare and occupational health contracting more broadly, but they are not procuring under this commodity classification for work related to phrenic nerve surgery.
