UNSPSC 85482716: Drainage of radial nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to drainage of radial 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 01963ZZ

UNSPSC 85482716 Drainage of radial nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code carrying a procedural medical taxonomy label that bears no relationship to the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this code. The recent opportunities posted against this code cover independent medical evaluation services for disability retirement determinations, occupational health surveillance, surgical benefit carve-out program management, pharmacy benefit management, temporary health professional staffing coordination, and emergency medical services for youth in detention — none of which involve drainage of the radial nerve or any percutaneous surgical procedure. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests either a systematic coding error in the state and local procurement system or that this code has been repurposed at the commodity level to capture non-procedural medical administration and staffing work. Issuing bodies span city retirement offices (Phoenix), state transportation agencies (Washington Department of Transportation), county probation and health systems (Harris County, Santa Clara County), county procurement services (Collier County), and municipal human resources departments (Long Beach). The actual work being bought is medical record review and summarization, occupational medical examinations, surgical network curation and outcomes management, pharmaceutical claims administration, and temporary staffing placement across multiple clinical specialties.

Activity is concentrated in the Southwest and Pacific regions, with posted opportunities from Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington between July and September 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office RFP for independent medical evaluation services (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026, $750,000 five-year maximum), the Washington State Department of Transportation RFP for occupational medical surveillance services across 14 ferry terminal and vessel locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026), the City of Long Beach RFP for surgical benefit carve-out management (HR26753, due October 7, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara Health System qualification vehicle for temporary health professional staffing (RFSQHHSFY270052, due October 7, 2026). This code shows no relevant recent activity for practitioners focused on actual radial nerve procedures or percutaneous surgical interventions; prospectors should verify internally whether their medical procedure scope maps to this commodity or whether a reclassification at the Family or Class level would better serve portfolio tracking.
