UNSPSC 85482638: Reposition ulnar nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to reposition 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 01S40ZZ

UNSPSC 85482638 Reposition ulnar nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that shows no alignment between its clinical procedural name and the state and local healthcare procurement activity currently tagged under it. The recent opportunities attributed to this code involve occupational medical surveillance, independent disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management administration, surgical procedure carve-out network management, temporary ancillary health professional staffing, and emergency medical services for detained youth—none of which involve surgical nerve repositioning procedures.

The mismatch suggests either a taxonomic miscoding issue in the state and local procurement systems tagging these solicitations or a substantial gap between the code's nominal scope and current procurement use. No recent opportunities in the source genuinely solicit ulnar nerve repositioning services from state or local buyers. The Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office (disability medical record review and independent medical examinations), the City of Long Beach (surgical procedure carve-out networks), Collier County (pharmacy benefit management), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (emergency and specialty medical services), and the County of Santa Clara (temporary ancillary health professional staffing) represent diverse issuing bodies and geographies, but their work falls entirely outside orthopedic surgical procedure contracting. This code warrants examination for correction in source procurement databases before pursuing activity under its current tagline.
