UNSPSC 85481536: Transfer peroneal nerve to tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer peroneal nerve to tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic 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 01XH4ZG

UNSPSC 85481536 Transfer peroneal nerve to tibial nerve, percutaneous endoscopic approach is a Commodity code that shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope—a specific surgical nerve-transfer procedure—and the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not involve surgical nerve procedures. Instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary clinical staffing placement, disability medical evaluation services, and surgical carve-out benefit administration for public employees and retirees. The code appears to be misapplied in state and local procurement systems to medical and health administration services rather than the orthopedic surgical intervention it nominally describes. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county health systems, city retirement boards, state transportation departments, county probation departments, and county human resources divisions—a broad mix of public health and employee-benefit administrative functions rather than surgical services.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Washington State (Washington Department of Transportation occupational health surveillance), Arizona (City of Phoenix retirement medical evaluations), California (City of Long Beach surgical benefit carve-out and County of Santa Clara temporary clinical staffing), Florida (Collier County pharmacy benefit management and Harris County, Texas juvenile detention medical services). The Washington State Department of Transportation's WSF-Medical Surveillance RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) solicits occupational medical examinations across 14 ferry terminal locations, requiring board-certified occupational medicine physicians. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office's Independent Medical Evaluation Services RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) seeks disability medical record summarization and independent medical examinations for approximately 75 public safety pension applications annually, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years beginning February 3, 2027. The County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive temporary staffing vehicle (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes a qualified vendor pool across 13 ancillary clinical categories including audiology, diagnostic imaging, surgical/OR services, and therapy, with no guaranteed volume. These opportunities reflect administrative and occupational health functions rather than surgical procedures, signaling that this code carries little relevant activity for firms pursuing surgical service contracts.
