UNSPSC 85481602: Change other device in peripheral nerve, external approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to change other device in peripheral nerve, external 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 012YXYZ

UNSPSC 85481602, Change other device in peripheral nerve, external approach, is a Commodity code that reflects a narrow clinical procedure classification, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it bear no relationship to orthopedic device implantation or peripheral nerve intervention. Instead, the solicitations cover occupational and disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit program carve-outs, pharmacy benefit management, youth detention healthcare, and temporary clinical staffing — none of which involve placement or modification of peripheral nerve devices. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding by issuing bodies or a data-integrity issue within the taxonomy as applied to these procurements. State and local governments sourcing under this code are issuing RFPs and RFQs for medical administrative and staffing services rather than medical devices or surgical procedures.

Recent opportunities span Arizona, California, Washington, and Florida. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office posted an RFP (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability determinations for public safety personnel, with a five-year maximum contract value of $750,000. The Washington State Department of Transportation issued an RFP (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations. The County of Santa Clara Health System established a multiple-award vendor pool (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories. The City of Long Beach posted an RFP (HR26753, due October 7, 2026) for surgical benefit carve-out program management. Collier County and Harris County issued separate solicitations for pharmacy benefit management and specialty medical services for detained youth, respectively. No recent opportunities support the code's stated scope of peripheral nerve device changes; the code shows little relevant activity for firms pursuing state and local medical device or surgical implant work.
