This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer ulnar nerve to median 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 01X40Z5

UNSPSC 85482645 Transfer ulnar nerve to median nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local opportunities, does not map meaningfully to actual procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing, disability medical record review, surgical center-of-excellence carve-out programs, and youth detention healthcare services — none of which involve nerve transfer surgery. This mismatch suggests either a systematic coding error in the source data or a misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how state and local procurement offices are tagging healthcare and medical services opportunities. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city retirement offices, state transportation departments, county health systems, and county juvenile probation departments, reflecting fragmented procurement across multiple jurisdictions and service lines that do not connect to the code's nominal surgical scope.

Activity appears across Arizona (Phoenix), California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Washington (state-level), Florida (Collier County), and Texas (Harris County), with no geographic concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's solicitation for temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). Given the absence of nerve transfer surgery solicitations and the categorical divergence between the code name and posted opportunities, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for business development purposes in state and local markets.
