UNSPSC 85482647: Transfer median nerve to ulnar nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer median nerve to 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 01X50Z4

UNSPSC 85482647 Transfer median nerve to ulnar nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement systems but shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal surgical scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code include independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations, occupational medical surveillance programs, pharmacy benefit management administration, temporary health professional staffing placement, surgical procedure carve-out benefit programs, and emergency youth detention healthcare — none of which represent nerve transfer surgery or related orthopedic surgical procedures. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source records or that the code is being used as a catch-all for medical services procurement rather than for the specific procedure its name describes.

The issuing bodies in the sample are diverse: city retirement boards (Phoenix), municipal health systems (Long Beach, Santa Clara County), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county public health and juvenile justice authorities (Harris County, Collier County), and regional health consortia. Geographic activity spans Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington, with no concentration evident in the records provided. Because the opportunities are materially misaligned with the code's surgical definition, this summary does not serve as a useful procurement guide for firms targeting actual nerve transfer surgery contracting. Practitioners should verify coding accuracy with the issuing jurisdiction before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code.
