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) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a surgical procedure—surgical excision of the radial nerve via an open surgical approach—but the recent opportunities posted under this code are healthcare administration and delivery contracts bearing no relationship to surgical nerve excision. The Muscogee County Prison medical and pharmacy services RFP solicits comprehensive inmate healthcare delivery, chronic disease management, pharmacy formulary services, and clinical support to a 576-inmate facility. The Collier County and Monroe County opportunities target pharmacy benefit management and virtual primary care platform services covering county employee health plans. The San Mateo County and Santa Monica Fire Department opportunities address peer support services for mental health workers and emergency medical director services, respectively. None of these solicitations involve surgical procedures or surgical services of any kind.

The geographic distribution across recent opportunities spans Florida (Collier County, Monroe County), California (San Mateo County), Georgia (Muscogee County), and California (Santa Monica), with no material concentration in any single jurisdiction. The issuing bodies represent a county board of commissioners (Collier, Monroe), a city fire department (Santa Monica), a county health behavioral services division (San Mateo), and a municipal consolidated government's purchasing division (Muscogee County). The code shows little relevant recent activity and the mismatch between the nominal UNSPSC descriptor (surgical nerve excision) and the actual procurement categories suggests either data classification error or use of the code to capture healthcare service contracting broadly. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for surgical procedure supply or service and verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities posted under this number.
