This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of radial 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 019600Z

UNSPSC 85482615 Drainage of radial nerve with drainage device, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect recent state and local procurement activity. The three recent opportunities posted under this code—independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office), surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees (City of Long Beach), and occupational medical surveillance for state ferry workers (Washington State Department of Transportation)—are administrative health services and employee benefit management, not surgical drainage procedures. A fourth opportunity (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department seeking emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth) and a fifth (Collier County pharmacy benefit management) are similarly unrelated to the code's surgical scope. One additional opportunity (Santa Clara County Health System temporary health professional staffing) covers ancillary clinical staffing across multiple specialties but does not address the specific procedural service the code describes.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either miscoding in the source data or a data quality issue within the state and local procurement system. No recent opportunities substantively match drainage of radial nerve procedures with drainage devices. Firms should verify the actual UNSPSC coding assigned to opportunities in this category before pursuing, as the opportunities currently tagged to this code do not align with surgical intervention services.
