UNSPSC 85481330: Transfer sciatic nerve to tibial nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer sciatic nerve to tibial 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 01XF0ZG

UNSPSC 85481330 Transfer sciatic nerve to tibial nerve, open approach (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal surgical scope and the work state and local governments are actually procuring under it. Recent opportunities tagged to this code center on occupational health surveillance, disability benefit medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and surgical carve-out benefits administration — none of which involve nerve transfer procedures. The code captures a mix of issuing bodies including state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Long Beach), typically seeking medical services administration and occupational health compliance rather than surgical procedures.

Geographic activity centers on the West and Southwest, with recent solicitations from Washington, Arizona, California, Florida, and Texas. The Washington State Department of Transportation is soliciting occupational medical surveillance services for ferry workers across 14 locations, with proposals due October 9, 2026 (RFP 20260825); the City of Phoenix Retirement Office is seeking independent medical evaluation services for disability benefit determinations under Arizona's Public Safety Personnel Retirement System, with proposals due October 16, 2026 (RTMRFP26001); the City of Long Beach is requesting a surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefit program for Centers of Excellence networks, with proposals due October 7, 2026 (HR26753); and the County of Santa Clara Health System is establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing across multiple clinical specialties, with proposals due October 7, 2026 (RFSQHHSFY270052). The code appears to be incorrectly applied to occupational medicine, health benefits administration, and medical staffing procurement rather than surgical nerve procedures, signaling that this commodity code does not reliably represent state and local surgical or nerve-transfer purchasing activity.
