UNSPSC 85482642: Supplement median nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to supplement median 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 01U507Z

UNSPSC 85482642 Supplement median nerve with autologous tissue substitute, open approach is a Commodity code that does not map to any active state or local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code describes a specific surgical procedure — nerve grafting using the patient's own tissue — yet all six recent solicitations indexed under this code actually procure health plan administration, occupational medical surveillance, disability evaluation services, temporary clinical staffing, and pharmacy benefit management. None of these opportunities involve median nerve repair procedures or autologous tissue grafting.

State and local procurement offices appear to have miscoded these opportunities at the Commodity level when the work being solicited is medical services administration and staffing, not surgical tissue supplementation. The source shows no recent RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB activity for the procedure the code nominally describes. Vendors evaluating pursuit under this code should treat the mismatch as a signal that the code sees little relevant recent activity and verify classification with the issuing bodies directly before investing in response preparation.
