UNSPSC 85481317: Repair femoral nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to repair 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 01QD0ZZ

UNSPSC 85481317 Repair femoral nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a surgical procedure code for orthopedic nerve repair—and the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, health professional temporary staffing, surgical care-out networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these represent femoral nerve repair procedures. State and local procurement offices appear to be using this code as a catch-all for medical services contracting rather than for the specific surgical intervention the code nominally describes, suggesting either systematic tagging error or local classification drift across multiple issuing bodies.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans multiple states and regions: Washington State (Washington State Department of Transportation), Arizona (City of Phoenix), California (City of Long Beach, County of Santa Clara), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County). The issuing bodies include state departments, county health systems and administrative offices, city retirement boards, and county juvenile probation departments. Representative recent opportunities include the Washington State Department of Transportation's occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) for examinations across 14 ferry system locations with baseline, periodic, and exit evaluations; the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services (due October 16, 2026) supporting approximately 75 annual disability pension applications at $750,000 over five years; the City of Long Beach's RFP for surgical care-out benefit management through Centers of Excellence (due October 7, 2026) for 3,800 employees and retirees; and the County of Santa Clara Health System's RFSQ for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories (due October 7, 2026) on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis. This code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its nominal surgical procedure scope.
