UNSPSC 85482626: Extraction of ulnar nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of ulnar 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 01D40ZZ

UNSPSC 85482626 Extraction of ulnar nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with nerve extraction services. The code does not reflect actual procurement activity in the state and local market. Recent opportunities posted under this code instead span independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for transportation workers, specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve extraction of ulnar nerve or orthopedic surgery as the code name suggests. The mismatch indicates either a data classification error in the underlying procurement system or inappropriate code assignment by the issuing body.

The geographic and issuing-body spread of the opportunities posted under this code reflects no coherent procurement pattern. Issuers include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Arizona), the City of Long Beach (California), the Washington State Department of Transportation, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the County of Santa Clara Health System (California). No issuer appears more than once, and the scope of work differs materially across all six opportunities. Given the absence of substantive recent activity aligned with the code's nominal scope, this code presents no reliable signal for business development targeting state and local procurement.
