This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of median nerve with drainage device, 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 019500Z

UNSPSC 85482613 Drainage of median nerve with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevance to actual state and local government procurement activity. The code's clinical-procedure taxonomy does not align with the health and human services contracting documented in recent state and local solicitations. Recent opportunities tagged under or adjacent to this code involve independent medical evaluation services, occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, surgical benefit carve-outs, and specialty medical services for youth in custody—none of which constitute drainage procedures or surgical interventions at the commodity level. The issuing bodies span county health systems, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county probation authorities, and municipal procurement divisions across multiple states, but the code's specificity to a surgical procedure does not map to the scope of work these jurisdictions are actually buying.

State and local procurement records show healthcare purchasing activity primarily in Arizona, Washington, California, and Florida over the past two months, but this activity reflects administrative health benefit design, clinical staffing, medical record management, and care coordination rather than surgical procedures or devices. The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (RFP RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026) solicits independent medical evaluation and disability record summary services; the Washington State Department of Transportation (RFP RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026) requests occupational medical surveillance; Santa Clara County Health System (RFP RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026) establishes a qualified vendor pool for temporary ancillary health professional staffing. The code itself generates no substantive procurement signal for vendors targeting state and local contracts.
