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 01D13ZZ

UNSPSC 85483020 Extraction of cervical nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code, but state and local governments show no recent procurement activity aligned with this code's clinical procedure scope. The six recent opportunities posted under this code—spanning independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, surgical centers of excellence networks, temporary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for youth in detention—describe administrative health services, care coordination, and staffing arrangements rather than the neurosurgical procedure the code nominates. The mismatch between code assignment and actual work solicited suggests either miscoding at source or a systematic divergence between UNSPSC taxonomy and state and local procurement practice in the healthcare services domain.

No relevant procurement activity exists under this code. Vendors evaluating opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 85483020 should treat the tagging as unreliable for targeting and instead evaluate each solicitation on its substantive scope—medical evaluation administration, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, or staffing coordination—and match capabilities directly to the issuing body's stated service requirements rather than code alignment.
