UNSPSC 85483136: Transfer phrenic nerve to phrenic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer phrenic nerve to phrenic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic 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 01X24Z2

UNSPSC 85483136, Transfer phrenic nerve to phrenic nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach, is a Commodity code that does not map meaningfully to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure involving transfer of the phrenic nerve using a minimally invasive approach — a narrow clinical intervention rather than a procurement category. State and local governments do not purchase this specific procedure as a commodity or service line under competitive solicitation; medical procedures are embedded within institutional healthcare delivery contracts or employee health benefit administration, not procured as standalone line items.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a mismatch between the taxonomy assignment and actual buying behavior. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office is soliciting independent medical evaluation services for disability determinations; the City of Long Beach is requesting surgical carve-out benefit programs for employee health plans; the Washington State Department of Transportation is procuring occupational medical surveillance; Harris County Juvenile Probation Department is seeking information on emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth; Collier County is purchasing pharmacy benefit management; and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. None of these solicitations concern phrenic nerve transfer procedures or any comparable procedural procurement. The code shows no current relevance to state and local business development activity and should be deprioritized in favor of higher-level medical services codes or employee health benefit administration categories that more accurately reflect where government buyers actually issue RFPs and RFQs.
