UNSPSC 85482651: Transfer radial nerve to median nerve, open approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to transfer radial 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 01X60Z5

UNSPSC 85482651 Transfer radial nerve to median nerve, open approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect state and local government procurement activity. Recent opportunities posted under this code include independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, surgical benefit carve-out programs for employee health plans, occupational medical surveillance, specialty and emergency medical services for youth in custody, pharmacy benefit management, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve nerve transfer procedures or surgical interventions on the scope the code nominally describes. The mismatch between the code's clinical designation and the actual work being solicited suggests the code has been applied inconsistently or incorrectly in state and local procurement systems.

The issuing bodies posting under this code span state agencies, counties, and municipalities: the Washington State Department of Transportation (on behalf of Washington State Ferries), the City of Phoenix Retirement Office, the City of Long Beach, Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County Board of County Commissioners, and the County of Santa Clara Health System. The geographic spread includes Washington, Arizona, California, Texas, and Florida. Because the code's nominal scope does not align with the procurements actually tagged to it, the recent opportunities provide limited signal for vendors seeking to pursue state and local work in nerve transfer surgery or related orthopedic procedures under this code. Business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC code for any medical or surgical service they are evaluating, as this code does not appear to be reliably used for its stated purpose in state and local procurement.
