UNSPSC 85481321: Supplement femoral nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement femoral nerve with autologous tissue substitute, 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 01UD07Z

UNSPSC 85481321 Supplement femoral nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local contract activity. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — supplementing a femoral nerve with autologous tissue via an open approach — which is a clinical intervention typically performed within a hospital or surgical center setting. The recent opportunities posted under this code, however, span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluation services, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing pool qualification, surgical carve-out benefit programs, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve femoral nerve supplementation or autologous tissue grafting as a procured service or product line. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the state and local procurement database or that the code has been assigned to health plan administration and staffing opportunities rather than to surgical procedures themselves.

Given this disconnect, the code shows little decision-relevant activity for vendors whose core business is femoral nerve repair or autologous tissue supplementation procedures. Pursuit under this UNSPSC classification carries substantial risk because the opportunities documented do not reflect the code's nominal scope; business development professionals should verify the correct commodity or service codes for opportunities of actual interest before investing in proposal development.
