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 sits at the intersection of surgical procedure coding and state and local procurement systems, yet the recent opportunities on record show no relevant activity under this code. The four most recently posted state and local opportunities tagged to this code — inmate medical and pharmacy services (Muscogee County, Georgia), pharmacy benefit management (Collier County, Florida), virtual primary and urgent care (Monroe County, Florida), peer support services (San Mateo County, California), and fire department medical direction (Santa Monica, California) — are healthcare administration, population health management, and clinical support contracts that bear no relationship to surgical nerve extraction procedures. State and local procurement databases appear to have misclassified these opportunities within UNSPSC taxonomy; they address managed care, pharmacy operations, telemedicine platform deployment, behavioral health workforce support, and medical oversight rather than surgical intervention.

The code shows no genuine purchasing activity in state and local contracting. Procurement of actual surgical procedures or surgical implant and instrument packages would not typically occur through state and local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB mechanisms; such services are ordinarily provided through hospital and health system procurement operating under different contracting frameworks. The presence of UNSPSC 85482626 in state and local opportunity records appears to be a data-quality artifact rather than a signal of active demand. Firms evaluating this code for state and local business development should treat it as inactive.
