UNSPSC 85482726: Extraction of ulnar nerve, percutaneous approach

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to extraction of ulnar 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 01D43ZZ

UNSPSC 85482726 Extraction of ulnar nerve, percutaneous approach is a Commodity code that shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the six recent state and local opportunities posted under it—ranging from independent medical evaluation services for pension disability determinations, to pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing—bear no relationship to ulnar nerve extraction or any surgical procedure. The mismatch suggests the code has been applied to these opportunities in error or the data source does not reflect the actual scope of work being purchased. State and local buyers are acquiring administrative medical services, benefits management, and staffing coordination under this code designation, not the surgical intervention the code name indicates.

The issuing bodies include a city retirement office (City of Phoenix), a municipal human resources department (City of Long Beach), a state transportation agency (Washington State Department of Transportation), a county juvenile probation department (Harris County), a county board of commissioners (Collier County), and a county health system (Santa Clara County). Geographic spread spans Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. No concrete procurement signal supports pursuing this code as a surgical services category; the assignment of a surgical UNSPSC code to medical administration and staffing opportunities warrants clarification with the source system before bid investment.
