UNSPSC 85483018: Extirpation of matter from phrenic nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extirpation of matter from 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 01C23ZZ

UNSPSC 85483018 Extirpation of matter from phrenic nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local contract activity, does not map to the medical procedure its title suggests. The recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations for public safety retirement boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, emergency and specialty care for detained youth, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve phrenic nerve procedures. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments. This represents a clear mismatch between the UNSPSC taxonomy label and the actual procurement activity being conducted; the code appears to capture diverse healthcare administration and occupational health services rather than the specific surgical intervention its name denotes.

Recent opportunities show geographic spread across Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations (due October 16, 2026, with a five-year term and $750,000 maximum contract value); the Washington State Department of Transportation's request for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (proposals due October 9, 2026, with a two-year initial term and options to extend); the County of Santa Clara Health System's qualification-based RFQ for temporary ancillary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026, non-exclusive multiple-award vehicle with no guaranteed work); and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering 2,400 employees and 4,800 members (the posted due date of April 9, 2026 has passed; the contract term is three years effective January 1, 2026). Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify that their service lines align with the actual scope of work being bought — occupational health, benefits administration, and clinical staffing — rather than relying on the UNSPSC commodity title.
