UNSPSC 85482620: Excision of radial nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to excision 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 01B60ZZ

UNSPSC 85482620 Excision of radial nerve, open approach (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect healthcare administration and staffing services — medical record review and disability determinations (Phoenix), surgical benefit program management (Long Beach), occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Ferries), emergency and specialty care for detained youth (Harris County), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County), and temporary clinical staffing (Santa Clara Health System). None involve surgical excision of the radial nerve or procedural surgery billing under the code's literal scope. The issuing bodies are mixed (city retirement offices, municipal health systems, state transportation departments, county probation and human resources divisions) with no dominant repeat buyer evident from these examples.

The geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Washington, Texas, and Florida, reflecting procurement across multiple states and regions. The representative opportunities — Phoenix Retirement Office's $750,000 five-year independent medical evaluation RFP (due October 16, 2026), Long Beach's surgical benefit carve-out RFP with go-live targeted April 1, 2027, and Washington State Ferries' occupational medical surveillance RFP (due October 9, 2026) — all fall outside the procedural surgery domain the code nominally describes. Bidders pursuing work under this code should note the substantial mismatch between the code's surgical name and the actual healthcare-administrative and staffing services being solicited by state and local buyers. The code appears to be a tagging error or system artifact rather than an active procurement category for surgical procedures.
