UNSPSC 85482714: Drainage of median nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of median nerve, percutaneous 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 01953ZZ

UNSPSC 85482714 Drainage of median nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are currently procuring under this designation. Recent opportunities tagged to this code show no solicitations for percutaneous median nerve drainage procedures or related clinical interventions. Instead, the opportunities span occupational medical surveillance, disability medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, specialty surgical care coordination, emergency medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which align with the narrow clinical procedure named in the code. The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County Juvenile Probation Department, Collier County, Santa Clara County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), but the services being procured are administrative, staffing, and benefits-management functions rather than clinical procedures. No meaningful concentration of activity around the code's stated scope is evident in the recent record.

The geographic spread includes Arizona, California (Long Beach and Santa Clara County), Florida (Collier County), Texas (Harris County), and Washington State, but this distribution reflects the diversity of health and benefits administration activity across jurisdictions rather than activity specific to percutaneous median nerve drainage. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services (due October 16, 2026) for disability benefit determinations, the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 Washington ferry locations (due October 9, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System's non-exclusive multiple-award qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (due October 7, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's clinical procedure name and the administrative and staffing services actually being solicited suggests the code is either misapplied by issuing bodies or carries a significant data-quality issue in state and local procurement systems.
