This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer ulnar nerve to radial nerve, open approach.

UNSPSC 85482646 Transfer ulnar nerve to radial nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems but does not align with actual recent buying activity by state and local government entities. The six recent opportunities posted under or near this code span independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical and medical procedure carve-out benefits for municipal employees, occupational medical surveillance for ferry workers, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve nerve transfer surgery or any surgical procedure matching the code's nominal scope. The issuing bodies include city retirement offices, municipal human resources departments, state transportation agencies, county juvenile probation departments, county commissioners' offices, and county health systems across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no pattern of repeat procurement of the service the code purports to describe.

The mismatch between the code's clinical name and the actual state and local opportunities suggests either systematic miscoding or that this Commodity code does not represent a genuine procurement category in state and local markets. No recent solicitation requests transfer ulnar nerve to radial nerve procedures, pre-operative or post-operative care, or related surgical services. State and local governments do procure medical and health professional services actively — as evidenced by the recent RFPs for occupational medical surveillance (Washington State Department of Transportation, pre-bid August 31, 2026, due October 9, 2026); independent medical evaluations (City of Phoenix Retirement Office, due October 16, 2026); and temporary health professional staffing (County of Santa Clara Health System, due October 7, 2026) — but these fall under distinct UNSPSC families covering medical services administration and staffing, not surgical procedures. Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as inactive for state and local procurement purposes and redirect business development efforts toward the appropriate health services and medical staffing codes under which state and local demand is demonstrably present.
