UNSPSC 85482604: Destruction of radial nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to destruction of radial 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 01560ZZ

UNSPSC 85482604 Destruction of radial nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that bears no relationship to the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under it. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but recent solicitations tagged to this code span occupational health medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations for public safety pension systems, pharmacy benefit management, surgical benefit carve-outs for municipal employee health plans, specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which involve destruction of the radial nerve or surgical nerve procedures. This mislabeling suggests either a data-entry error in the opportunity tagging or a fundamental misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and the issuing bodies' classification practices. The code shows little to no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The opportunities cited span Arizona (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, RFP for independent medical evaluation services due October 16, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners, RFP for pharmacy benefit management due April 9, 2026), California (City of Long Beach, RFP for surgical benefit carve-out due October 7, 2026; County of Santa Clara Health System, RFP for temporary health professional staffing due October 7, 2026), Washington (Washington State Department of Transportation, RFP for occupational medical surveillance due October 9, 2026), and Texas (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, RFI for specialty and emergency medical services due September 25, 2026). Given the mismatch between code definition and actual procurement activity, this code should not be pursued as written; vendors should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before committing business development resources.
