UNSPSC 85482610 Drainage of brachial plexus, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure, but the six recent opportunities tagged to this code—independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing—represent health plan administration, occupational health screening, and clinical staffing services rather than surgical drainage procedures. None of the solicitations mention brachial plexus procedures or surgical drainage work of any kind. The mismatch between the code's clinical specificity and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited suggests either miscoding in the state and local procurement systems or that this code does not meaningfully capture active state and local buying patterns.

The issuing bodies include municipal retirement offices (City of Phoenix), large city human resources departments (City of Long Beach), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), county probation departments (Harris County), county commissioners' boards (Collier County), and regional health systems (Santa Clara County Health System), spanning Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. If this code were actively used for its intended scope, business development professionals should flag the coding discrepancy with procurement offices and verify whether state and local buyers are using an alternative code for surgical services or whether these opportunities were tagged in error.
