UNSPSC 85483023: Release cervical nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to release cervical 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 01N13ZZ

UNSPSC 85483023 Release cervical nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity that aligns with its nominal scope. The code designates a specific surgical procedure — percutaneous cervical nerve release — yet recent state and local solicitations tagged under it cover a broad range of medical and health administration services that diverge significantly from this clinical definition. The mismatch between the code's procedural specificity and the actual work being solicited suggests either tagging misalignment in source systems or a disconnect in how state and local procurement offices apply the UNSPSC hierarchy to health services contracting.

The recent opportunities span independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-outs through Centers of Excellence networks (City of Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance for ferry system workers (Washington State Department of Transportation), emergency and specialty medical care for detained youth (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department), pharmacy benefit management administration (Collier County), and temporary health professional staffing pools across ancillary clinical specialties (County of Santa Clara Health System). Issuing bodies include city retirement boards, county commissioners' offices, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county health systems. None of these opportunities specify procurement of cervical nerve release procedures or related spine surgery services. The geographic spread covers Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida. Given the scope mismatch and lack of solicitations for the specific procedure named in the code, this code does not present a clear procurement lane for vendors focused on spine surgery services or cervical interventions.
