UNSPSC 85482602: Destruction of ulnar nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of ulnar 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 01540ZZ

UNSPSC 85482602 Destruction of ulnar nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with actual state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a specific surgical procedure involving nerve destruction—does not match the medical and health administrative services that state and local bodies are currently soliciting under this code assignment. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing placement, surgical center-of-excellence networks, and emergency medical services for detained youth. None of these procurements involve ulnar nerve procedures or surgical nerve destruction. The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), cities (Long Beach), and state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation). The geographic spread spans Arizona, Texas, Florida, California, and Washington.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope mismatch: the City of Phoenix Retirement Office issued RFP RTMRFP26001 for independent medical evaluation services supporting disability pension benefit determinations, due October 16, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation issued RFP 20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations statewide, due October 9, 2026, with cost-based evaluation and a two-year initial term plus optional extensions; and the County of Santa Clara Health System issued RFSQHHSFY270052 establishing a qualified vendor pool for temporary health professional staffing across multiple ancillary clinical categories, due October 7, 2026, on a non-exclusive, multiple-award basis with no guaranteed work volume. The code does not reflect active procurement of surgical nerve procedures and should be evaluated for reclassification or removal from active state and local sourcing strategies.
