UNSPSC 85482641: Supplement ulnar nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement ulnar nerve with autologous tissue substitute, 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 01U407Z

UNSPSC 85482641 Supplement ulnar nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code nominally describing a surgical procedure for peripheral nerve repair. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show no alignment with that clinical scope; instead, they span occupational health surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, independent medical evaluations for pension disability determinations, surgical procedure carve-out networks, and emergency youth detention medical services. The code exhibits a profound mismatch between its procedural name and the actual work being solicited under it in state and local procurement, suggesting either systematic miscoding or a data quality issue in the underlying taxonomy mapping.

Activity appears across several state and local issuing bodies — Arizona's City of Phoenix Retirement Office (independent medical evaluation services for public safety pension boards), Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational medical surveillance), California's City of Long Beach (surgical benefit networks for employee health plans), Harris County Juvenile Probation Department (Texas; specialty and emergency services for detained youth), Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida; pharmacy benefit management), and Santa Clara County Health System (California; temporary health professional staffing). Geographic concentration spans Arizona, Washington, California, Texas, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Phoenix Retirement Office RFP (RTMRFP26001) seeking independent medical evaluation services with a $750,000 five-year contract maximum and October 16, 2026 response deadline; the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP (RFP20260825) for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations with an October 9, 2026 due date; and the City of Long Beach RFP (HR26753) for Centers of Excellence surgical procedure carve-outs with an October 7, 2026 response deadline. Because the code's nominal scope does not match the actual procurement activity, the underlying mismatch warrants clarification before pursuing opportunities under this classification.
