This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer tibial nerve to sciatic nerve, open approach.

UNSPSC 85481332 Transfer tibial nerve to sciatic nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but recent opportunities tagged under it span occupational medical surveillance, independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out networks, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, and specialty hospital services for detained youth. None of these solicitations involve nerve transfer surgery or orthopedic surgical procedures of the kind the code describes. The mismatch suggests either that the code has been applied inconsistently by posting agencies or that the taxonomy does not align well with how state and local health systems and benefit administrators classify medical service procurement.

State and local buyers posting under or near this code include county health systems, county commissioners' offices managing employee benefits, city retirement boards, state transportation agencies with occupational health programs, and county juvenile probation departments. Recent opportunities originate from Washington State Department of Transportation (Washington State Ferries), City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), City of Long Beach (California), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), and County of Santa Clara Health System (California). Given the wide divergence between the code's surgical scope and the actual health administration and staffing services being procured, this code warrants close attention to the specific language and attachments of any solicitation before committing resources—the taxonomy label alone does not reliably predict the work being bought.
