UNSPSC 85481303: Division of femoral nerve, open 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 018D0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481303 Division of femoral nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local government procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged to this code are administrative medical services, pharmacy benefit management, occupational health surveillance, emergency medical care, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve surgical procedures or nerve division. The code's nominal scope describes a surgical intervention, yet state and local buyers using this code designation are procuring medical evaluations for disability determinations, occupational examinations, pharmacy administration, and health professional temporary staffing. This mismatch suggests the code has been misapplied in the tagging of recent solicitations, or the code's use in state and local procurement does not align with its clinical definition.

No substantive procurement activity tied to the actual scope of UNSPSC 85481303 appears in the recent state and local contract opportunity record. The issuing bodies — the City of Phoenix, the City of Long Beach, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County, Collier County, and the County of Santa Clara — are acquiring administrative healthcare services and staffing, not surgical procedures. Buyers seeking surgical services under this code are not evident in the current opportunity set. This code does not merit pursuit under its stated definition based on available recent activity.
